my
department. We discovered an abandoned sum of ($6.5million) Six Million and
Five
hundred thousand Dollars Only in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer
LateMr.Robert Ebner,who died along with his entire family of a wife and
three children in October 31, 1999 in a plane crash.Since we heard of his
death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and put claims
for
his money as the heir, because we can not release the fund from his account
unless someone applies for the claims as the next of kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relatives
has ever appeared to claim the fund.Upon this discovery,I and other
officials in my department have agreed to make a deal with you and release
the
fund into your account as the NEXT OF KIN of the decease, since no one came
forit or discovered the maintained account with our Bank otherwise the
fund will be returned to the bank's treasury as unclaimed fund. Please

your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and my
colleages, and 35% for you,while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have
incurred during the process of the transferring.
After the successful completion of this transaction,one of my
colleagues and I will come to your country and mind our percentage.It is
from
our share we intend to import medical equipments into my country as a
way of recycling the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to
immediately indicate your interest if this proposal is OK. by you or
you do not wish to take advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you,
then kindly reach me through my private email
address(hassa_moh@zipmail.com.br).

andmy colleagues,i will then inform you on how we go further in the
transactions.
