STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL


Dear Sir,

A REQUEST FOR BUSINESS COOPERATION.

I am Mr. Clifford Ekeson Ali, Bank Manager of National Fidelity Bank
Limited, Lagos Branch.I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.On June 6, 1997, an American Oil consultant/contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$15,000,000.00( Fifteen Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.After amonth,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Federal Ministry of Solid and Liquid Minerals that
Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.On further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum ofUS$15,000,000.00 is still sitting 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 as it stands by statute, at the
expiration of 5(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 foriegner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr.Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.upon consideration of this proposal , I will like you to provide
immediately the name and address that you intend to use for the preparation
of the relevant probate documentation that will reperesent you as next of
kin to Mr.Barry Kelly to achieve the requiste documentation ,we shall
employ the service of two independent Attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter
of probate/administration in your favor for the payment of the inheritance
entitlement. Furthermore, you will be required to act independently as a
Foreigner , next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mr. Barry
Kelly to claim this funds through any of the bank's Fiduciary Agents /
offshore clearing house in Europe or Canada.

The money will be paid to you for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me
and 35% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork 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 then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and 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,and also meet with you personally.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my E-mail:cliff@africamail.com.

Thanks and regards.

MR CLIFFORD EKESON ALI.
