all cost.

On January 6th 2002, Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser ,an
Egyptian National, a consultant/contractor with Gardiner &
Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit,valued at
$15,500,000.00 Dollars (Fifteen Million,Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars) for twelve calender months in my Bank
Branch.Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent
a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr.Mohamed Kamal
Yasser died in an air disaster on October 31st, 2002.

On further investigation, it was discovered that he died
without making a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless. On further investigations,
it was discovered that Late Mr Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at
the Bank.The total sum, $15,500,000.00 Dollars is still in
my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
came forward to claim it.

In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and
constitution, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody
applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to
stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser so that you and I can benefit from the fruits of
this old man's labour to enhance humanitarian Organisation
Worldwide.Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to
you detailed information on how this deal would be
transacted.We shall employ the services of a solicitor for
the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late
Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all other relevant
papers in your name for the necessary documentation for
payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.

The money will be shared in this ratio: Sixty percent for
me,thirty percent for you and Ten percent for any arising
contigencies during the course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law as I will use my position as the branch Manager to
secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of
this transaction.It will take only 7-14 working days to
conclude this transaction.

Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is
required. If this interests you, please reply me
immediately via the private email address below and please
