discovered that Mr.Wallter Hangal is the only issue to his family.

Before his death on 26th December 2004 Mr.Wallter Hangal left with a bank a
total
sum of $58 million United State Dollars.

I came across your name and contact, on the course of my personal
searching for reliable and honest person whom will transact this business with
me so i decided to contact you for this project.

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth
left behind in a fixed deposit account by Mr.Wallter Hangal before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank. The board of the directors
in the Bank has issued a notice that after 2 months from now and no next
of kin shown up for the claim, the funds will be confiscated and declared
unserviceable.

Since I the personal assistant have been unsuccessful in locating Mr.Wallter
Hangal's
relatives for sometime now, I seek your consent to present you as the
Next of Kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceed of
this deposit valued at $USD 58 Million Dollars can be released to you.

information/documents of Mr.Wallter Hangal . I myself have successfully

For verification and approval. Everything is under my control. I shall
Provide you all the information and copy of the certificate of deposit issued
to Mr.Wallter Hangal when he deposited the funds in the Bank.

I shall also involve a good attorney who shall represent you in all the
appropriate offices for the claim. I shall destroy all the documents
used for the claim and leave no traces. After everything, you shall have 30% of
the total sum, while 70% for me. All requires is your honest cooperation to
enable us seeing this business successful.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Mr.Wallter Hangal was a very
good man and it is not wise to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the
greedy directors of the bank.

Further details awaits your response by email. Please treat this proposal very
strictly and confidential.

Best Regards and God bless you.

Mr. Johnson Kerosine.
