Dear Friend
RE: Help Needed For Mutual Investment Relationship.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition
having gone through business ensure Hitch-Free at all time. Though,
this medium (Internet) has been greatly safed for privecy in doing
this beneficial transaction. I choose to reach you through it
because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium
of communication. However, this correspondence is purely private, and
it should be treated as such.
I work in DELTA TRUST BANK NIG PLC. as the Branch Manager
and my Mission of contacting you is based on Trust and Faithfulness
that will be attached to this profitable Investment. The Management
and the Legal department of our BANK {DELTA TRUST BANK NIG PLC.
Ilupeju branch) in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of
MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN, who was one of my branch depositor, should be
declared Dormant and confisticated the depositor's fund to the Bank
Treasury according to the Banking procedure and Financial law. He is
a foreigner based in Victoria-Island, unfortunately He is late as he
was amongst those that was Killed in the recent WARRI CRISIS as you
can confirm through this website
http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/1083.cfm
He is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with
the sum of ofUS 15.5 Million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand
U.S
{Dollars)deposited in the account. In fact it happened that since his

transfered into your own bank account in your country as the
Officially approved beneficiary.

secret to myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the
fact that the deceased customer is a foreigner (from a different

legalized in your favour because i know hia personal lawyer here.
