Subject: EXECUTION OF TALBOT'S WILL

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Dr. George Moranz, a senior Manager at Bank Of
Africa here in CoteD'Ivoire. Though we have not
related in the past, I am compelled by the important
nature of the opportunity at hand to contact you so
that we can explore avenues for cooperation in this
mutually rewarding project.

A very wealthy deceased customer of our bank, Mr.
Talbot Camara a Sierra Leonean and one time minister
for natural resources in that country left some large
amount of money in a suspense domiciliary account
with our bank since his death in 1998. In his Will
which has just been made available to us by his
Lawyer and family, he shared his other wealth located
in some other bank accounts judiciously among his
family members and local welfare organizations, but
requested specifically that the money in his account
with our bank be allocated 100% to a foreign
organization or individual trustee who will utilize
it strictly for charity. In this Will also, he gave
sole authority for the nomination of this foreign
trustee to his personal Lawyer - Mr. DON CLARK and the
Head of the Domiciliary Account Department of my bank,
which position I am occupying at the moment.

So, the choice of a foreigner for this project is in
strict compliance with the WILL of the deceased
account holder who believes that the fund will be
better utilized by a foreign trustee since there will
be no interference or manipulation by local
authorities. Due to the exigencies of Ivoirean
legislation, there became the need to acquire a
Letter Of Administration from the Ivoirean Probate
Registry to give legal impetus to the execution of
this Will in Cote D'Ivoire. For this reason, the
execution of this WILL could not materialize until
last month when the court in Cote D'Ivoire issued the
final Letters Of Administration. Having secured this
Letter Of Administration from the court, the
authority for the appointment of an administrator for
this fund now lies solely in my hands and that of the
Attorney. Both of us (Myself and the Attorney) have
met several times over this issue and have agreed
mutually among ourselves to transact this inheritance
in a way that will be beneficial to us, and the
foreign trustee. In fact, we have decided to utilize
only 50% of this fund for charity while reserving the
rest for ourselves. After deducting the overall
cost(both foreign and local) incurred in executing
this project, whatever balance left from the
outstanding 50% will be shared equally between myself,
the Attorney and the foreign partner who will assist
us to receive this money as the appointed trustee.
Also, the foreign partner will receive in addition to
his share, the 50%earmarked for Charity under the
strict agreement that this part must be spent for
Charity through him or his organization in compliance
with the wish of the late account holder.

My reason for contacting you therefore, is to solicit
for your cooperation in this project so that your
name or that of your company can be used as the
appointed foreign trustee to whose care this money
will be transferred. However, it may require that you
shall be physically present here in Abidjan, Cote
D'Ivoire with my assistance to complete the necessary
procedures. There is absolutely no risk involved as
we have the copy of the Will and Letters of
Administration to back the transaction. But you must
also understand that a transaction of this nature and
magnitude requires absolute secrecy so that no one
else hears about it especially ,our mutual agreement
to utilize and disburse this fund as stated in the
paragraph above. If you accept to offer your
cooperation for this project, please reach me
urgently through my email address or give me a call on
the above stated telephone number to enable me give
you the full schedule of the transaction. You should
also provide me with your private telephone and fax
numbers for intimate communication.

Thanks and God bless.

Yours sincerely,




=====
Dr. George Moranz
Accounts Director,Bank Of Africa
