Compliments of the day
My name is Mr.Milth Johnson. I'm an accountant and also a consulting
auditor to one of the prime banks in Southern Africa.During our
last audit session, I personally came across the files of a foreign
customer of my client bank Christain Eich (57-year-old) whom perished
with his whole families (Wife Andrea, 38, son Maximilian, 10, and
daughter Katharina, 8.) in a CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] on
25TH JULY, 2000 with the whole passengers on board.It was a tragic and
sympathetic situation. You can visit the below links for more details on
the flight mishap.

During the course of my auditing work with my client bank, I discovered
an account opened in the bank in 1998 by this great late INDUSTRIALIST
who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account. Since
his death, I further investigated with keen interest to see if I can
get any relative of the late industrialist but all was unsuccessful as
no one has come to claim his funds and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the CEO of his company.The banking ethics
there does not allowsuch money to stay more than six years without claim
hence the money will be recalled to the
government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of dormancy.They
intend channeling this funds into war arms if no one comes for the
funds with proofs as the beneficiary.
The total amount involved is huge and the transfer would be in two parts.
We wish to start the transfer with the first part and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply
for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account. I have
secretly discussed this matter with a close confidant attorney whom I
must involve in order to assist us produce legal back-up document which
would substantiate your claims and also enable us have a smooth and
successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you
are going to nominate.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through, so that this funds will not be channeled into evil deeds. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. For my personal security
reasons. I would plead with you to keep the information in this letter
top secret and confidential.In otherwords, we require from you by e-mail
(all correspondence must be sent as email or fax):
{i} Acceptance letter of this offer proving convincing Honesty, and
CONFIDENTIALITY. {ii} Confidential telephone and fax numbers
Needless to say, the trust and bond reposed on you at this juncture is
great. In return, 30% of the transferred sum would be for you, 50% for
me, 15% for charity both in Africa and in your country and also here in Dubai U.A.E where i have office .while the
remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might
incure during the transfer process. You must however NOTE that this
transaction is subject to the following terms and conditions:Our
conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.That you would

foreign partner, you will heed to all instructions to the letter.

funds be included in the final quarter of this fiscal year's payment.When

necessary steps immediately. I look forward to your response through my
