FROM Dr GRAHAM

FROM: DR. GRAHAM DOUGLAS ( MNIM, NIIM, CIBN, ACA )
 UNION BANK PLC.


 Dear Friend,


 I know that this email will surely come to you as a surprise, but I
 will crave your indulgence to view it seriously and I apologise, but
 I hope that it will be a welcome surprise. Before I run out of steam,
 I will like to introduce my self and go straight to the point. My
 name is Dr. Graham Douglas and I am a banker. My primary reason for
writing to you is to seek your partnership/assistance in a business
 transaction. I need your partnership and assistance because of the

 following reasons:

 a. it is practically impossible for me to carry out this business
 alone.

 b. you live in a foreign land far away from mine. This should
 normally not be a requirement, but when you understand the
 transaction then you will understand why it is important that you
 live far away from me.

 c. The amount of money involved in this transaction is
 US$18,500,000.00, which is too much for a man of modest means like my
 self to handle in my country.

 I believe from my few points above, you can begin to get an idea why
 I need your participation.

 Let me explain how the money, which is the basis of this business I
 am proposing, came about. Before I became a deputy director, some
 years ago I used to be Accounts Officer to some special corporate
 customers. One of these very important customers of our bank(Union
 Bank PLC) was Engineer Mohammed Bin Waseem an Arabian citizen, who
 had spent most of his years before his death working in Africa and
 mostly in Nigeria. He died in a plane crash in 1996 in Nigeria.

 This money belonged to him. Technically speaking now,it belongs only
 to his name. The money is payment he received for a contract he
 executed on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing for
 the government.

 My reason for deciding to carry out this transaction is that Engr.
 Waseem did not mention any next of kin in any of the documents held
 by the bank for the number of years he had banked with us. Since 1996
 we have searched for any body that could be related to Engr. Waseem,
 I was
 mandated by the bank to search for a relation of Engr. Waseem and I
 did this from January 1997 to December 1999 after which the search
 was called off in the belief that soon a relative may turn up to
 claim his estate. Nevertheless, as it is, there is no relative.

 Now, the Chairman of the bank who is a retired soldier has indicated
 his intentions for the money. During the last meeting of Directors
 and Deputies, he said that he would donate the money to a military
 trust if it is not claimed soon, this invariably means the continuous
 flow of more arms and ammunition. I know for sure that not all of the
 money will go to the military trust some will surely line his pockets
 and that of anybody who is in support of his plan.

 My plan is to get a trust worthy person that can, under my constant
 guidance present him self as a cousin to the late Engr. Waseem. I
 want you to note that your citizenship does not matter;

 You do not have to be an Arabian. The papers demanded by the normal
 procedure for the claiming of an inheritance will take care of
 everything. You will be sole beneficiary to the estate of Engr.
 Waseem. All I need is for you to follow my instructions closely
 because I am experienced in inheritance matters here and I am on
 ground here to advice you on every step until you receive the money.
 Then we meet.

 For your participation, we will allow you 30% of the gross. All
expenses incurred in the process of this transaction will be deducted
form the gross value and shared at a commensurate ratio; this we will
 done at the end of the transaction, because the money is bonded.

An estimated 10% or less will cover all incidental expenses and we
 will take 60% for ourselves. The most important thing to me right now
 is trust on both sides. Now the money is still in the care of the
 bank, I hope the trust will still be there when we must have legally
 established your relationship as cousin to Engr. Waseem and the
 money is paid to you. I need also to trust that you will not tell
 people or your bank about this business. Collect the money first then
 I get my share, then you can tell any body what you chose. I shall
 need your help to invest in your country; therefore, any experience
 you have in this area will be beneficial.

 Surely, you must have some questions or may be you just need further
 clarification. I will be happy to receive a mail  from you
  to this effect, this will enable me explain further
 what the next step is and the general plan. I will also need your
 most confidential telephone number and fax number, if you have a
 mobile phone I believe it will help so that I can reach you anytime.

 Please kindly respond by email only

 Your positive and negative response is highly welcome.
