Hello Dear ,

I am the Manager of Foreign Accounts Department of the
Standard
Trust Bank Plc. I am writing you this letter to solicit
your
support and co-operation to carry out this transaction. We
discovered an abandoned Sum of US$20Million (Twenty
Million U.S
Dollars) in an account that belong to one of our foreign
customer
who died along side his entire family in November 1997 in
a plane
crash in Lagos.Since this development, we have advertised
for his
next kin or any close relation to come forward to claim
this
money, but nobody came to apply for the claim.

To this effect, I and two other officials in my department
have
decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who can
stand in as
the next of kin to the deceased and claim this money. We
need a
foreign partner to apply for the claim because of the fact
that
the customer was a foreigner. And we dont want this money
to go
into the banks treasureas unclaimed fund.Every document to
effect
this process will emanate from my table and I will perfect
every
documents to be in accordance with the banking Rules and
Regulations.
so you have nothing to worry about.

All we required from you is to open a local bank account
with
your name here in Lagos where the money is to be
deposited,before
onward transfer to your designated account abroad. we have
agreed
that 30% of the money will be for you, 10% for expenses
incurred
on the both side while 60% will be for my colleagues and
me.
If you are going to help me, indicate by replying this
letter and
putting in your bank particulars, private telephone and
fax
numbers.

I await your immediate reply to enable us start this
transaction
in earnest. Once I receive your reply, I will send you the
text
of application for immediate application of claim.

Thanks for your anticipated assistance.

Please indicate your interest only in my alternative
private
e-mail address: danladiahmed@coolgoose.com

Your's faithfully,

Mr.Danladi Ahmed.
