Dear Friend,

I am REV. DUKES ABY BRANCH MANAGE Union Bank Of LONDON.MY client Dr. Wolfgang
Fritz, a businessman, made a numbered fixed deposit with a value of USD6.8M
(Six million, eight hundred thousand United States Dollars Only in my branch
This mail is written and intended to solicit
your assistance to be presented as NEXT OF KIN to my Late Partner since you
are a foreigner and only a foreigner can lay claims on this inheritance FUNDS


My Deceased Client Dr. Wolfgang Fritz (a German National) made a fixed Deposit
of Fund valued at USD6.8M (Six million, eight hundred thousand United States
Dollars Only) with my Bank here in my country and unfortunately lost his
life aboard Concorde Flight AF4590, which crashed on 25 July 2000 and left
no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents related to
the Deposit still with me.

You can view and verify this information from the below sites,
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)

After further investigations,it was also discovered that Dr. Wolfgang Fritz
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the paper
work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he visited
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit
in my bank. So, USD6.8M (Six million, eight hundred thousand United States
Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
it.

I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Dr. Wolfgang
Fritz to enable you receive the funds. Lets put heads together to see how
we can transfer these funds out of LONDON and use it judiciously. We are
going to adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents with no risk involve.

Meanwhile, I will be coming over to your country Immediately the funds arrives
in your Country
For my own share.

Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while we expect your
prompt response to this matter as the urgency demands.

ONE LOVE!!

Yours faithfully,

REV Dukes Aby.
