YOUR ATTENTION PLS.
My name is Henry chucks, manager African Development Bank. I am pleased
to inform you about my interest to use your Bank account for a deposit
of $17.5Milliom with the Bank. It may surprise you,but just give me your
attention pls. An AMERICAN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
National petroleum Corporation, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for
twelve calendar months,valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five
hundred thousand Dollars)with African Development Bank since the year 2000.
Ever since then, a
routine notification has been sent several times to him, without reply.
In 2003, I discovered from his contract employee, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that my client is dead. Unfortunately, was a victim
of the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed in France. Check the site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
On further investigation the entire family was in the plane, and no declaretion
of inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank, as he intend to invest
in ASIA.

I have made several research since 2003 till December last year, to reach
any of his relation or family member for claim, without success, and the
management of the African Development Bank is planning to confiscate the
fund by the end of this month quarter, since the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum for many years. I want you to stand in as the
next of Kin to the deceased since you bear the same surname with him,for
us to save the fruits of the old man's labour before it get to the hands
of some corrupt selfish officials of the government,whose interest is to
confiscate this fund within 14 days from tomorrow.

As soon as you consent to this request, I will immediately employ the service
of a lawyer to notarize the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favor of you for the transfer of
the fund to your Bank account.

You will receive; 45% of the total sum as compensation, base on your good
intention to help me secure the fund in your account. I would also like
to use 5% of the fund to rasie a reputable charity home or Foundation in
the name of the deceased. My position here as the Branch Manager guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. Looking forward to your urgent
anticipation to this offer. Email To PRIVATE:

Henry chucks
