The facts are there is no unclaimed money in Nigerian bank accounts.Nigeria is famous for confidence tricksters who scam people into believing that a long lost relative had a life insurance policy.They tell you that they have traced you as being the only relative.

I was told that a Polish relative who had been living over there had died in a car wreck and there was $16,000,000 in life insurance waiting for me to claim it.If I agreed to give them $3,000,000 for handling my claim,I would get the rest.I have no relatives from Poland and they got my email address from an inquiry I made for a friend in Poland.I just deleted it,because the next step would have been them asking me for my bank account details.A lot of these scams originate from Benin, and I say just delete them.
