fund with the OIL REFINERY COMPANY (O.R.C).I his friend have made several
enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful, as he has no wife.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you to help
me and claim this money valued at US$15.4 Million as the next of kin of

by the ORC.

through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Your response is only

to the success of the transaction in motion.Also I would be grateful if
this mail will be favoured with an earlier reply,all I need from you is
to furnish me with your contact information such as:your direct phone and
fax number for fast communication.
However,i am compensating you with 30% of the total amount, now all my hope
is banked on you and I really wants to invest this money in your country,
were there is stability of Government, political and economic welfare.

the internet but certainly, this is not one of them.Now I urge you to take
