Dear Friend,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction;this is by virture of its nature as being
CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive but I am assuring that all will be well at
the end of the day,I am drabdul usman ,a senior accountant
with one of the leading financial firm here in Lagos
Nigeria.
One of our client by the name Engr.Mark Dawson,with his
entire family (The wife and Two Children) were involved in
the bomb explosion in Lagos, Nigeria, on January 27th,
2002 which, claim many lives and property. Unfortunately,
my client and the family lost their lives in that disaster
that needed not to have happened. Since then I have made
several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track any
trust and honest person that can stand as the next of kin
and have his remaining transfered to him/her,Before his
death and uptil date i was his account officer.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating
the fund left behind by my client prior to his death
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
my bank,where this huge deposit were lodged in, where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$10.4 million.
The company had issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin to the account,as the account officer to the late
deceased or have the account confiscated within the next
25 official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over one year, now I seek
your conscent as the next of kin of the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$10.4 million can
be paid to you.
All documents to enable you get this fund will be
carefully worked out. This proposal is 100% risk-free. We
have agreed that the fund be shared thus,after it must
have been transferred into your account.
You can find informations about the January 27th, 2002
Bomb Explosion on the website below.

discussion.
