Hi

of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring that this is real and genuine.

to handle this Confidential Transaction,which involves the transfer of a
huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.

along with his wife and entire family on 25th July, 2000,Air France Concorde

has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir. Arab Bank cannot
release the fund from
his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines, unfortunately, no family member
nor relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery,

treasury as unclaimed funds and will be subsequently conficicated by the
british government at the expiration of five year duration.

departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can
be made. I have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus:

35% shall be for you and the remaining 5% shall be used to compensate either
