FROM: MR.STANLY ABUCHI.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
SGBCI BANK
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.


Dear Sir,

I am MR. STANLY ABUCHI., the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Sgbci Bank in Aidjan,
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 long 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$9m
(NINE million united states dorllars).

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
willingness 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 20% 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
70% 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,

MR. STANLY ABUCHI
