been concluded. Unfortunately, the beneficiary to that
fund is dead.

The fund was deposited in a name of a family with a secret

I have all the necessary informationwithin my disposal to
move this fund out of the bank for private use without the
knowledge of anybody.

The area of assistance required of you is to front you as
the Beneficiary, so that the fund can be retrieved for
onward transfer to your designated bank account overseas.
I shall provide you with detailed information on how to
execute this transaction upon receipt of your reply.

I have mapped out 30% for you, 65% for me and 5% for
reimbursement of both parties for expenses incurred during
the pendency of the transaction. Be rest assured that
there is no risk involved.

Contact me through the above Email and phone number
because of the confidentiality required.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and God bless you.

Yours faithfully,
