now is us$5.3 Million United States dollars,(Five million, and Three hundred Thousand united states dollars only).

As a director with the African Development Bank Group, I cannot directly lay claim to these funds since i came across it. Also the
fact that i am not a foreigner like the deceased was also hinders me from claiming this funds.Note that the management of the bank
would only welcome a foreigner with the right information to the account to claim the funds since no one has come for it for over 3 years
now as the beneficiary.

I am using this medium to solicit your help and assistance since you are a foreigner and i would give you all the details of the account
as your partner on this deal, to claim the funds for you and I from the bank has the sole beneficiary and next of kin to the late man
who had the account.

Upon getting the money from the bank,i propose we share it this way,for your assistance on this transaction we would share the
funds as follows below:

1. 30% of the funds which is $1,590,000:00 only, would be your share.

2. 70% will go to me as the initiator of the business.

(Note that this is open to negotiation should you ask for it,as a partner).


I am anxiously looking forward to hearing from you and I guarantee that this would be executed under a legitimate arrangement between
you and i.
