Dear Friend,

I am soliciting for your humble and confidential assistance at all cost
for my deep interest to invest in your country. I am Mr. Mack Darrel, Branch
Manager, Lloyds TSB Bank Plc, Birmingham, England. On January 6th 1999,
one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser, an Egyptian National, a consultant/contractor
with Gardiner & Theobald, a leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £12,400,000.00(Twelve
Million, Four Hundred Thousand Pounds) for twelve calendar months in my
Bank Branch.

Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent another reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Mohamed
Kamal Yasser died from air disaster in October 31st,
1999.On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making
a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
Please go through this website to confirm this story about the plane crash.www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html

On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the Bank. The total
sum, £12,400,000.00 is still 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. In accordance with the
Banking Federal Laws and constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if
nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.

Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the
next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser so that you and I can benefit
from the fruits of this old man's labour to enhance humanitarian Organization
Worldwide.

Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you either by fax or email
a scanned copy of the Lloyds TSB Bank Plc. "Next of Kin Payment Application
Form as well as detailed information on how this deal would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST
WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all other
relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.

The money will be shared in the ratio: Seventy percent for me,thirty percent
for you. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use my position
as the Bank's Branch Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction. It will take only 5-6 working days to conclude
this transaction.

Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. If this
interests you, please reply me immediately via the private email address
below and please include your private phone number for voice contact and
fax number so that I can provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
