UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET.THOUGH I 
KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL MAKE 
ANYONE APPREHENSIVE 
AND WORRIED.BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE
WELL

AT THE END OF THE 
DAY.WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU THROUGH THIS MEDIUM

DUE TO THE 
URGENCY OF THIS TRANSACTION AS WE HAVE BEEN RELIABLY 
INFORMED OF YOUR 
DISCRETENESS AND ABILITY. 
LET ME START BY INTRODUCING MYSELF TO YOU. I AM
MR.VIC MAT,AN 
ACCOUNTANT WITH THE UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC

NIGERIA,UNTIL HIS DEATH 
THREE YEARS AGO IN A GHASTLY AIR CRASH IN AN EGYPT 
AIR, FLIGHT 990 WHICH 
OCCURED ON 2ND NOVEMBER 1999,BANKED WITH US HERE AT 
UNION BANK OF NIGERIA 
. MARINA BRANCH LAGOS,AND HAD A CLOSSING BALANCE OF 
US$30.5M(THIRTY 
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)IN

A FIXED DEPOSIT 
ACCOUNT,WHICH THE BANK 
UNQUESTIONABLY EXPECTS IT TO BE CLAIMED BY ANY 
AVAILABLE FOREIGN NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE LATE BENEFICIARY 
OR ALTERNATIVELY 
BE DONATED TO A DISCREDITED TRUST FUND FOR THE 
PURCHASE OF ARMS AND 
AMMUNITIONS AT THE MILITARY WAR COLLEGE IN KADUNA 
STATE HERE IN NORTHERN 
NIGERIA. 
SEQUEL TO THIS,FERVENT VALUABLE EFFORTS WERE MADE BY 
UNION BANK OF 
NIGERIA TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE MIGUEL'S 
FAMILY OR RELATIVES BUT 
PROVED TO NO AVAIL.IT IS BECAUSE OF THE PERCEIVED 
POSIBILITY OF NOT BEING 
ABLE TO LOCATE ANY OF THE LATE ENGR.BUTCH R. 
MIGUEL'S NEXT-OF-KIN(HE HAD NO KNOWN WIFE AND 
CHILDREN) THAT THE MANAGEMENT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF 
OUR HONOURABLE 
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF 
DIRECTORS,MAJOR-GENERAL KALU UKE 
KALU(Rtd), THAT AN ARRANGEMENT BE MADE FOR THE FUND TO

BE 
DECLARED"UN-CLAIMABLE" AND SUBSIQUENTLY BE DONATED TO 
THE TRUST FUND FOR THE PURCHASE OF 
ARMS AND AMMUNITON TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE COURSE OF 
WAR IN AFRICA AND 
THE 
WORLD IN GENERAL.IN ORDER TO AVERT THIS CRUDE AND 
NEGATIVE 
DEVELOPMENT,SOME OF MY TRUSTED COLLEAGUES AND I NOW 
SEEK YOUR PERMISSION TO HAVE 
YOU STAND AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN TO LATE ENGR. BUTCH 
R.MIGUEL, SO THAT THE 
FUND US$30.5M WOULD BE RELEASED AND PAID INTO YOUR 
ACCOUNT AS THE 
BENEFICIARY'S NEXT-OF KIN.ALL DOCUMENTS 
AND PROVES TO ENABLE YOU RECIEVE THIS FUND WILL BE 
CAREFULLY WORKED 
OUT AND MORESO AS PROFESSIONAL BANKERS, WE ARE 
ASSURING YOU OF 100% 
RISK-FREE INVOLVEMENT. YOUR SHARE STAYS WHILE THE REST

WILL BE FOR MYSELF 
AND MY COLLEAGUES FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES IN YOUR 
COUNTRY. 
NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION WILL STRICTLY BE BASED ON 
THE FOLLOWING 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS I HAVE STATED BELOW, AS WE 
HAVE HEARD CONFIRMED 
CASES OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATES RUNNING AWAY WITH FUNDS 
KEPT IN THEIR CUSTODY 
WHEN IT IS FINALLY REMITTED INTO THIER BANK ACCOUNTS.A

VERY GOOD 
EXAMPLE IS THE ONE OF MR. PETER HOPWOOD,THE PRESIDENT 
OF MILEAGE TRADING AND 
INVESTMENT COMPANY AT NUMBER 121, WEST 55TH 
STREET,21st FLOOR,NEW YORK 
10022, AND THE FORMER CHAIRMAN OF OMPADEC(MR PATRICK 
OPIA)WHOM WE WERE 
RELIABLY INFORMED THAT AFTER THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN 
BOTH PARTNERS IN 
WHICH HE WAS TO TAKE 15% OF THE MONEY WHILE THE 
REMAINING 85% FOR THE 
NIGERIAN OFFICIALS,WITH ALL THE REMAINING DOCUMENTS 
SIGNED,THE MONEY WAS 
DULY TRANSFERED INTO MR HOPWOOD'S ACCOUNT, ONLY TO BE 
DISAPPOINTED ON 
THEIR ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK AND WERE INFORMED THAT MR 
PETER HOPWOOD WAS NO 
LONGER ON THAT ADDRESS,WHILE HIS TELEPHONE AND FAX 
NUMBERS HAD BEEN 
RE-ALLOCATED TO SOME BODY ELSE. 
THIS WAS HOW THEY LOST US$18.5M TO MR HOPWOOD.THIS IS 
A VERY RECENT 
STORY HERE IN MY COUNTRY AND EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF 
THIS.SOME OF THE 
OFFICIALS DECIDED TO CRY OUT AND FACE THE LAW,BECAUSE 
THEY FELT THEY HAD LOST 
SO MUCH TO A STRANGER,WHILE THE CHAIRMAN OF 
OMPADEC(MR PATRICK OPIA)IS 
NOW HIDDING IN A FORIEGN COUNTRY.SO RIGHT NOW, I AM 
TAKING ALL 
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO GUARD AGAINST RE-OCCURENCE 
OF SUCH ACT IN OUR 
CASE.THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DECIDED THAT THIS TRANSACTION

WILL BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:- 
(a) OUR CONVICTION OF YOUR TRANSPARENCY, HONESTY 
ANDDILIGENCE. 
(b) THAT YOU WILL TREAT THIS TRANSACTION WITH UTMOST 
SECRECY AND 
CONFIDENTIALITY(c) YOU MUST BE READY TO PRODUCE US 
WITH ENOUGH 
INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF TO PUT OUR MINDS AT REST. 
(d) THAT UPON RECIEPT OF THE FUND,YOU WILL PROMPTLY 
RELEASE OUR SHARE 
ON DEMAND AFTER YOU HAVE DEDUCTED YOUR 20%. 

YOUR URGENCY WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED AS WE ARE 
ALREDY BEHIND 
SCHEDULE FOR THIS FINANCIAL QUATER. 
IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ALRIGHT BY YOU,THEN KINDLY GET TO 
ME IMMEDIATELY ON 
MY EMAIL ADDRESS: () PLEASE NOTE THAT MY

BE USED SO AS TO AVOID TAPPING THROUGH OUR TELEPHONE
CONVERSATIONS BY
