When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this

and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late

This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where thses
fund will be transfer according to the due process of our bank in order to
avoid voilation of any country and international Monetory law on fund
transfer. Thereafter,I had planned to destroy all related documents for this
account.
It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out
everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.
The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$15.million US dollars).
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer Consider
this and get back to me as soon as possible.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return e-mail and enclose (1) your private contact telephone
number,(2) fax number(3) full name and address( 4) your designated bank
coordinates( your bank account and swift code)and any form of identification
like your international passport to enable us file letter of claim to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be
made.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained herein be
accorded the necessary
attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves.
I expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.
