GOOD DAY,

I am Mr. Andrie Bramintya, Branch Manager of Australia & New Zealand
Banking Group Limited of 1 Raffles Place #32-00 OUB Centre Singapore
048616. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.A British Oil consultant/contractor with the Singapore Solid
Minerals Corporation, {Mr.Wilson H. Diamond} made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$10,750,000.00
(Ten Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Singapore
Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.Wilson H. Diamond died in a plane
crash along with his wife, Mr and
Mrs Wilson & Sarah Diamond in 2000 air crash. Since we got this
information about his death.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a
WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr.Diamond did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paper work in my Bank. This sum of US$10,750,000.00 is still sitting in
my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it.

According to Laws of Singapore, at the expiration of 5 (five) years
which is this year, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin to Mr. Diamond so that the fruits of this old man's labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.

This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in
place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the
WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of
the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be
paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and
30% for you.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
Guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via the private email address
below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please
observe utmost confidentiality,
and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for
both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share
in your country.

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.


Best Regards,
Andrie Bramintya
