Attn: Pls,
Taking into considerations that we have not met before, l know
this mail although it's for good motive, may come to you as a
surprise. l decided to contact you for this reason believing
that you would be capable to work-out this deal for the
interest of us based on what we have in the file here.I am Dr.
Albert Galut, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Eco Bank in west Africa with due respect and regard.
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 on 21 april 2001 in a Auto 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 keep
this information secret within myself and partners to enable the
whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the
time of execution. The said amount was us$13M(thirteen million
united states dollars). Since then I have made several enquiries
to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact a foreigner who will
act as the next of kin to the deceased instead of the money
going into the federal government coffers. I have contacted you
to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by
my client before they get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly,the Eco Bank Plc where the deceased had an
account valued at about13 million united states dollars has
issued a notice for the next of kin to surface or have the
account confisicated within the next ten official working days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of
kin of the deceased hencewe claim this fund for our own benefits
so that the proceeds of this account valued at 13 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make.All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that
this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you
from any breach of the law. I will procure all necessary Legal
documents furnish me with the below information to enable the
bank transfer the fund to your bank account.
(1) Your phone and fax number for easy conversation
(2) Your age and occupation.
(3) Your full name and address
Once I hear from you I will tell you the next line of action.

Dr. Albert Galut
