Dear Friend,

I got your address via the internet. I have a proposal
for you this however is not mandatory nor will I in
any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am 49, and had worked with a bank (one of the African
leading banks in the West Coast). Here in this bank
existed a dormant account for the past 8 years which
belong to a Syria national who is now late.
After discussing my view and your profile with my
colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided
to contact you immediately for this mutual business
relationship.

When we discovered that there had been no deposits nor
withdrawals from this account for this long period, I
and my two other colleagues decided to carry out a
system investigation and discovered that non of the
family member nor relations of the late Syrian is
aware of this account.

This is the story in a nutshell.
Now we want an account overseas where we can transfer
this funds. Thereafter, we had planned to destroy all
related documents for this account. It is a careful
network and for the past eleven months we have worked
out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.

The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all
the accumulated interest the balance in this account
stands at-US$9.5 million US dollars.
Now our questions are:-

1. Can you handle this project?

2. Can we give you this trust?

3. can you sponsor this project? if so,
What will be your commission?
Consider this and get back at us as soon as possible.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as
contained herein be accorded the necessary attention,
urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves.

We Expect your urgent response if you can handle this
project. Call me at this direct line +228 916 7660 after
sending a mail for confirmation.
Respectfully yours,
MR FRANK NOHA
