you will wellcome my mail without being bias and that you will be
trustworthy to me. I write this mail to you with the hope that we shall later discuss person-to- person.

Prior the probate of my late father's WILL and last Testament, it was
discovered that my father lodged the Sum of $65,000 000.00 (Sixty Five
million US Dollars) in one of the banks Vault., together with specific
instruction to me on how to transfer this money Abroad. This is a special
arrangement with the bank since his intension was to invest the money
himself.
Among other reasons, my father did not wish this money to fall into the
hands of political enemies, who might conspire to share my inheritance
among themselves.
He therefore had his Attorney draw up a document empowering a foreingner
that will help me invest the funds, this funds into any vaible business
abroad.

direct me to a more capable hand the will invest the funds with little
information of a viable where the money will be invested, i will send you
necessary Documents from my fat her's Attorney in order for
you to afix your name etc, in the space provided thereafter you should
send it back to me in order to effect the transfer of this money from the
bank here to any Bank of your choice Abroad for the investiments only.My
father also indicated that such an Executor who helps me to transfer this
money
abroad for safety, will be entitled to 30% of the $65 million .
I appeal to you for urgent assistance to enable me
effect the Terms of my late father's WILL, in transfering this money
abroad, for any good investment of your liken, you will also take
care of me and my school fees and little expenses for the family until our
agreed years of investiments elapse Please sir, regard this matter as a
help to safe guide my life and inheritance from the hands of my father's
enemy and some greedy family members.
I wait for your positive response towards my proposal, also include
your phone/ fax numbers to enable me contact you.
Thanks and God be with you
Regards
Fredchuks Ali.
