with the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM COPORATION, MR KEN POWER, made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve (12) calendar months,valued at US$28,000,000.00
(Twenty-Eight Million Dollars)in my branch.

Upon maturity, I sent a routine notificationto his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM COPORATION that MR KEN POWER 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 friutless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that MR KEN POWER did not declare any KIN OR RELATIONS IN ALL HIS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPER WORK IN MY BANK. This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. NO PERSON WILL EVER COME FOWARD TO CLAIM IT. According to NIGERIAN LAW, at the expiration of 5(FIVE)
YEARS, the money will revert to the ownership of the NIGERIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF NOBODY APPLIES TO CLAIM THE FUND.
