rest of the family died in Iraq during the crisis, I only made this
investigation just to be double sure of this fact and since I have been

yourself as his business partner as well next of kin of the deceased. As an
auditor in the bank I will use my position in the bank to help you becoming
the next of kin to the estate, so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $14.5 million dollars(Fouteen Million And Five Hundred Thousand USA
Dollars) can be transferred to you, this is the story in a nutshell. Now I
want an account overseas where the bank will transfer this fund. Thereafter,
I will come for the sharing and investment, also to use part of the money to
