I get emails every day from conmen claiming to be related to some well known person who somehow stole money and needs my bank details to deposit the loot. It's always a scam. Only the greedy ever get caught by these scams. This message was posted from a K700i

FROM: COMRADE NESTA GOMEZ (MANAGER)
BANK OF THE NORTH PLC.
LAGOS BRANCH NIGERIA


Dear Sir,


RE: TRANSACTION FOR MUTUAL BENEFITS

I am Comrade. NESTA GOMEZ of Bank of The North Plc, I got
your

contact through a friend who attended a trade mission in
your

country, but I did not disclose the nature of the business
to

him. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal
for

you.


On june 6, 1996, an American oil consultant /contractor
with the

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Charles
Ballassi

made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar
months,

valued at US$9,700,000.00 (Nine Million Seven Hundred
Thousand

Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine

notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a

month, I sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his


contract employers, (The Nigerian National Petroleum

Corporation) that Mr. Charles Ballassi died in the plane
Crash

of February 16, 1998 involving Taiwanese airliner crashed
with

otherpassengers aboard as you can confirm it yourself via
the

website below:

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9802/16/taiwan.crash.update2/


On further investigation, I found out that he died without

making a WILL, and attempts to trace his next of kin was

fruitless. I, therefore, made further investigations and

discovered that Mr. Charles Ballassi did not declare any
next of

kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his

bank deposit documents in my bank. This sum of
US$9,700,000.00

is still in my bank and the interest is being rolled over
with

the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come

forward to claim it.

According to Nigerian law, at the expiration of (five)
years,

the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian

Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my

proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as
the

next of kin to Mr. Charles Ballassi so that the fruit of
this

old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt


Government officials. This is simple, I will like you to
provide

immediately your full name and address so that the Attorney
will

prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will
put

you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the
service of

two attorneys for the drafting and notarization of the WILL
and

obtain the necessary documents and letter of

probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.



Any bank account in any part of the world, which you will

provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to
you

as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into
your

account for us to share in ratio of 60% for me and 40% for
you.

There is no risk at all; the documentations for this
transaction

will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch

Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.



If you are interested, please reply immediately via the
private

email address below, upon your response, I shall provide
you

with more details and relevant documents that will help you


understand the transaction. Please observe utmost

confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction
would

be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your

assistance to invest my share in your country. Please upon
the

receipt of this mail message, send to me the following, to

enable start the process of the fund into your bank
account:


1. Your full Name and address.

2. Your private Telephone and fax numbers


Awaiting your urgent reply via my above fax number or
email:

nestagomez@tiscali.it

Thanks

Yours Sincerely,

COMRADE NESTA GOMEZ
MANAGER
