for a foreign partner I assured of your Capability and reliability to
champion this business opportunity when i Prayed to God About you. We
discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars (Fifteen million
U.S.A dollars). In an account that Belongs to one of our Foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) In a plane
crash.Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
Next of kin To come over and claim his money because we cannot Release it
unless Somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the Deceased As
indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt That all
his Supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the Plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in the
Accounting Department now decided to make this business proposal to you
And release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the

Unclaimed bill.The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money
Remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into
The Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next
of Kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was
a Foreigner and a French citizen cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign
partner,in respect To the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be
set Aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be
for my Woman colleague and me.They’re after I will visit your country for
disbursement according to The Percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as

location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I
Will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not Fail
to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and That you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements Have been
made for the transfer.
