Subject: Proposition For Fund Management.
Compliments of the day,
My name is Nick Bheka Walters. I'm an accountant and also a consulting auditor to one of the prime banks here in Southern
Africa.During our last audit session, I personally came across the files of a foreign customer of my client bank Christain Eich (57-year-old)
whom perished with his whole families (Wife Andrea, 38, son Maximilian, 10, and daughter Katharina, 8.) in a CONCORDE PLANE CRASH
[Flight AF4590] on 25TH JULY, 2000 with the whole passengers on board.It was a tragic and sympathetic situation. You can visit the below links
for more details on the mishap.

During the course of my auditing work with my client bank, I discovered an account opened in the bank in 1998 by this great
late INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account. Since his death, I further
investigated with keen interest to see if I can get any relative of the late industrialist but all was unsuccessful as no one has come
to claim his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the CEO of his company.The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of dormancy.They intend
channeling this funds into war arms if no one comes for the funds with proofs as the beneficiary.
The total amount involved is Thirty Six Million United States Dollars and the transfer would be in two parts. We wish to start the transfer firstly with
Ten Million United States Dollars and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply for the transfer of
the remaining balance to your account. I have secretly discussed this matter with a close confidant attorney whom I must involve in order to assist
us produce legal back-up document which would substantiate your claims and also enable us have a smooth and successful transfer of the fund
to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through, so that this funds will not be channeled into evil deeds. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate process that will protect you from any breach of the law. For my personal security reasons. I would plead with you to
keep the information in this letter top secret and confidential.
In otherwords, we require from you by e-mail (all correspondence must be sent as email <nbwauditsolutions@yahoo.com.br>):
{i} Acceptance letter of this offer proving convincing Honesty, and CONFIDENTIALITY.

Needless to say, the trust and bond reposed on you at this juncture is great. In return, 30% of the transferred sum would be for you, 40% for me, 25% for
charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process.
