It is obvious that this proposal will not come to you as a suprise since there
are tales about the internet. but need not to worry as i am using the only secured

fatal Plane Crash traveling to northern Minnesota. He died in the
midst of one of the most hard-fought senate races of the mid-term
campaign, battling to retain a seat which the Republicans have
targeted in order to win back control of the senate.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives including other people in
the Plane.Since then I have made several enquiries to locate
any of my clients extended relatives since his only dauther who

to me to bring fought a member of his family or any of his next of kin
to claim the money and properties left behind by my client which if
not met with will confisticate his money and assets and send them
to the banks treasury as unclaimed since the funds are now lying
in the suspence account of the bank.
It is for this reason i write to seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$9.3Million (Nine Million Three Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) will be paid into your account
and then you and I can share the money. 55% to me and 40%
to you,while 5% should be for expenses,tax as your government may require.
