If you were to reply to "Dr. Phillip Mensah" with your information, he would soon request fees for documentation, or to open a new bank account to handle large amounts of money. There is no fund, and there are no legitimate documents to support this claim.

Dearest,

I am Dr.Phllip Mensah, the Accountant Auditor General,INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC.to Mr. Steve Anderson. who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria (SPDC} as the Engineering Director, after series of enquiries i was meant to understand that the depositor died On the 21st of April 2006 in a motor accident, with his family who were supposed to be the next of kin to his deposit.

Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident. Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives overthe Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client in a Bank. Fortunately, the Bank where the deceased deposited the Seventeen Million United States Dollars{$17,000,000.00) knows me very well and has ask me to present some one to claim the fund left by my late client as they all know I am his personal Accountant.

Consequently, the Bank has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin to claim the Seventeen Million United States Dollars{$17,000,000.00) in their custody within the next ten official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over the years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the fund will be transferred to your account by the Bank.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner;So that the proceeds of this account valued at can be paid to your nominated account in our favour.At 50% to me and 50% to you. Them engagement and board of directors of (INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC) has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account frozen and I know that they will surely not rest until they finally froze his fund. Instead of this fund to be frozen or converted to our Federal Government Treasury for importation of Arms for war, i deemed it more useful and better to work it out into your account in our favor.

I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back-up your claim as the next of kin. This we must achieve with your sincere co-operation to ensure that this fund is not wasted or ends up in the hands of people that like war, I hope you understand me very well, All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.

Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as indicated. You must apply to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased. Indicating your bank number an indicating where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of reply.
