Goodday,
My name is Paul Adamu a staff of the CITIZEN INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC. As one of the auditors of the bank, I discovered an account with the sum of US$25,800,000.00. (TWENTYFIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND US. DOLLARS) that has been abandoned and unserviced for more than ten years belonging to one of our customer. Our banking law stipulates that if such account remaim unserviced and the fund unclaimed for twelve years, the money will be confiscated and go into the bank revenue as an unclaimed fund.
It is upon this discovering my colleaque and I who knows about it decided to make our secret and personal inquiries about the account owner (depositor) and the next of kin, but sadly, he died with his entire family in a plane crash in 1997. We solicit that you stand as the next of kin so that the money will be transfered to your account or any other account you may provide for us. We proposed that the money be shared as follows, 30% for you, 65% for my colleaque and I, 5% will be for any expences we may incure.
please, could you urgently notify me of your acceptance to assist in this trasaction, I shall inturn provide you with all necessary information about the account and the modalities for a formal application to secure the claim and the immediate transfer of the fund to your account or any other account you may provide for us.
I believe you do understand the confidential nature of this transaction and hope you will be honest and trustworthy in this transaction. Please forward your reply to the below email address.

Best regards,
Paul Adamu.
