URGENT ASSISTANCE

Dear Sir,

It is my pleasure to seek for your assistance, This proposal is real andI
want you to consider it very important and I am assuring you that it isnot
a dubious mail.

I am Mr Mohammed Aliu, of Eco Bank Benin, Audit and Account Unit, during
the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened
in the bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that theowner
of the account died with his family. Remain honest to me till theend of
this important business trusting in your and believing in God that you will
not disappoint me at the end.

The owner of this account who was MR MOHINDER GUPTA,from Saudi Arabai a
foreigner and an Industrialist who died along side with his next of kin,since
November 2nd 1999 in plane crash, until now no other person(s) knows about
this account or could givea

ny documentary evidence concerning this account.Meanwhile the total amountinvolved
is Ten point sixmillion United States Dollars (U.S.$10.600,000.00only.)I
am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to a local account, without valid international foreign Agreement, but could
only beapproved to any foreignerwith valid international documents.

Passport or Driver.s license and Foreign Account because this sum is in
U.S.dollars and the former owner of the account
MRMOHINDER GUPTA, is a foreigner too, thus the moneycould only be approved
to a foreigner.

I will like both of us to build confidence and trust to sign an agreementthat
will build us together before transferring the money to any account of your
choice where the fund will be safe for safety keeping,To prove the authenticity
of the business I
have the deceased file jacket with me regarding any question
that may comes up from the bank.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given you 30% of the totalamount,60%
will be for me, while 10% will be for
expenses that might have incurred during this process this business is 100%risk
free,be rest assured that this deal is legal.I look forward to your
erliest replyday.

Best regards.

Mr MOHAMMED ALIU.
