Dear Friend,


Good day to you.


I am Mr. David Lauire the general auditor of BANCO SABADELLl , Madrid Spain
. There is this floating funds which is to the tune of forty five Million
Euro (45,000,000.00ERU) Which as been floating in this A/C # 5005874BS1000
since 1995 after the death of the true owner of the funds late Mr. Alberto
O. COLLINS who was the manager of Diamond Safari (PTY)SA , who died on the
result of a motor accident on the 15Th May 2002. I just came across his file
again when I was auditing all the credit account in BANCO SABADELLl , and
I find out that nobody as ever come on behalf of the late Mr. ALBERTO O.
COLLINS as his next of kin to claim the funds. And I have been monitoring
this account since I discovered this information. In this case I have concluded
to contact you if you are reliable to execute this transaction with me, then
I will instruct you on how to claim as the next of kin to the late Mr. ALBERTO
O.COLLINS, so that the funds could be transfer to your overseas A/C, if only
you can co-operate with me and not to betray me at the end.

For your information the first transfer payment to apply for as the next
of kin should be Twenty million Euros (20,000,000.00ERU)

As soon as you confirm your interest and co-operation I will give you the
guide lines on how you can transact with the bank for the approval of the
funds to your A/C. As soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer
I will apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country
for my share of the funds and the sharing of the funds is 65% for me , 30%
for you and the remaining 5% will be for expenses incurred during the transaction.


As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all documents
that will lead to the trace of this transfer and go Back to My Country Because
i have work all my Life in Spain.


As soon as I hear from you on the above phone line or email I will advise
you on how to go about the transaction as well as to send you an agreement
letter that will bind the both of us together in case of any future misunderstanding
when sharing the funds.

I await your soonest respond.

Thanks.

Mr. David Lauire
