Subject: FROM: DOVI ISREAL.

FROM: DOVI ISREAL.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.

I am DOVI ISREAL the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
in bank.Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire. in Africa, with due respect and regards.I
have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died years ago
in a Kenya airbus (A310-300) Flight KQ430, in January 2000 in a plane crash
and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any
claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before
our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partner
to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the
time of execution.The said amount is USD$14m (fourtheen million united states
dollars).

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide
next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this
money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and needed
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and illingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business
opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil
servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually
raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work
in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party
or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust
of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need
the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due
verification
and clarification by designation bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction total , you will be entitled to 30%
of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care
of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please,you have been advised
to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from
service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole
situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account.

And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either
in your country or any country you advise us to invest in. All other necessary
information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get
back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

Yours faithfully,

Best Regards

DOVI ISREAL.
