From: James (Regarding Dr. H. Paul Jacobi)
> Hello,
> 
> I am sending you this private email to make a passionate 
> appeal to you for assistance. Kindly accept my apology for 
> contacting you this way and forgive me if this is not 
> acceptable to you. My name is James Odibo; I am an auditor at 
> one of the Nigerian Banks.
> 
> On Tuesday, 19 January, 1999, one Dr. H. Paul Jacobi a 
> foreigner, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at 
> L10,550,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand 
> Pounds) for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch.
> 
> Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his 
> forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a 
> reminder and finally we discovered from his company that Dr. 
> Paul A. Jacobi was aboard the Egypt Air Flight 990, which 
> crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. After 
> further investigation, it was discovered that he died without 
> making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin 
> proved abortive.
> 
> On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Dr. 
> Paul A. Jacobi did not declare any next of kin or relatives 
> in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit 
> paper work here in our Bank. The total sum, L10,550,000.00 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.
> 
> In accordance with my country's banking laws and 
> constitution, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money 
> will revert to the Government treasury if nobody applies as 
> the next of Kin to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall 
> present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of 
> kin to the late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi.
> 
> Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the 
> National Bank Plc "Next of Kin Payment Application Form" as 
> well as detailed information on how this transaction would be 
> carried out. We shall employ the services of a solicitor for 
> the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Dr. Paul A. 
> Jacobi and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name 
> for the necessary documentation for payment approval in my 
> bank headquarters in your favour. The money will be shared in 
> the ratio: Sixty percent for me and my colleagues, thirty 
> percent for you and 10% would be set aside to offset all 
> expenses in course of the transfer.
> 
> I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate 
> arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law 
> as I and my colleagues will use my position to guarantee the 
> successful execution of this transaction. Please be informed 
> that your utmost confidentiality is required. Should this 
> proposal meet your interests respond back via my alternate 
> email <james4group@caramail.com>.
> 
> Awaiting your urgent response.
