Subject: ALERT - Time Deposit

Hello,

I understand that my mail may be a little confusing to you considering the fact that you and i do not know each other, but please be rest assured that i have contacted you in good faith. My name is Pascal DuFranse, I am a South African citizen and i am married with 3 lovely kids. I work with Platinum Bank Ltd, and i am the regional manager of Private Banking Sector in our branch office here in Lagos, Nigeria.

An American contractor (Glenn B. Hatleberg) with the Nigeria Solid Minerals Corporation made a time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$5,750,000.00. Upon maturity, I 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 employers, the Nigeria Solid Minerals Corporation that Glenn Hatleberg died in a plane crash along with his wife, Barbara Hatleberg in February 2009. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin have been fruitless as Mr. Glenn did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.

This sum of US$5,750,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Nigeria, at the expiration of 5 (five) years which is this year, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Glenn B. Hatleberg so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.

I have drafted a safe plan to re-profile and move this money out of my bank without putting you or my career at any risk, because the entire transaction will be executed under 100% legitimate arrangements. But the main issue here is that i cannot be directly connected to this money as an ordinary citizen and an officer of the bank as i need to protect my career, considering the years that i have put in banking service. And this is the REASON why i have contacted you.

We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents to prove the authenticity and this will help you understand the transaction more. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country,
