BROTHER, THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE AND WE HAVE WORKED OUT EVERY
MODERLITIES TO EFFECT THIS PAYMENT INTO THE FOREIGNER WHO IS GOING TO APPLY
FOR THE FUND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THROUGH OUR BANK THOUGH THE BANK OFFICIALS
DO NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE THIS IS A DEAL.
I BELIEVED THAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROPOSAL VERY WELL BEFORE
REPLYING. THE PERCENTAGES ARE AS FOLLOWS: YOU ARE ENTITLE TO 30% OF THE
TOTAL SUM WHICH IS US$9 MILLION DOLLARS AND 10% WILL BE USED ICASE OF ANY
MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES WHICH IS US$3 MILLION DOLLARS AND THE REST OF THE 60%
WHICH IS US$18 MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE FOR US (MYSELF AND MY JUNIOR
COLLEAGUES).
SO WE INTEND TO USE OUR OWN SHARE OF THE FUND TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY AS
SOON AS THE FUND IS TRANSFERED SAFELY AND YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY OUR
INTRUSTIONS AND ADVICE TO AVOID MISTAKE BECAUSE WE WILL NOT LIKE TO MAKE ANY
MISTAKE AS THIS FUND IS OUR LIFE.

INVESTIGATING/PANEL COMMITTEE THAT WILL BE USE TO MONITOR AND SCREEN
WHOSOEVER THAT WILL APPLY FOR THE FUND AND OFCOURSE YOU KNOW MY POISITION IN
THE BANK, I AM THE BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER IN MY DEPARTMENT.
SO THIS TRANSACTION WILL NOT TAKE US FIVE DAYS BECAUSE THE BANK IS WAITING
FOR THE NEXT KIN TO THE DECEASED FOR THEM TO PAY HIM/HER OFF THIS FIRST
QUARTER OF THE YEAR BECAUSE IF THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THE FUND, AFTER FIVE
YEARS THE FUND WILL BE CONFISCATED AS UNCLAIMED BILL AND THE FUND WILL NOW
BE TRANSFERED INTO GOVERNMENT TREASURY.
BROTHER, I WILL SEND YOU AN APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL USE TO APPLY TO THE
BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN AFTER I HEAR FAVOURABLY FROM YOU.

PROBLEM AT ALL.
NOW, I WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL I HEAR YOUR VOICE BY CALLING MY MOBILE NUMBER
00226-78-81-04-32 BECAUSE THIS IS OUR LIFE AND I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THIS
IS JUST THE BEGINING OF OUR LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND MY

FOR THE DISBURSEMENT OF THE FUND ACCORDING TO OUR PROPOSED PERCENTAGES AND
ALSO FOR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHICH I WILL LIKE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT AND
WHAT TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY WITH OUR OWN SHARE OF THE FUND OF WHICH YOU
WILL BE THE SUPERVISOR.
BROTHER, ABOUT THE SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL OF THIS TRANSACTION, IT IS VERY
NECESSARY FOR US TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION VERY STRICT AND TOP CONFIDENTIAL
SO AS TO RECEIVE THE FUND WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND REMEMBER THAT FOR YOU TO
BE A MAN, YOU NEED TO HAVE INTERGRITY, HONEST AND TRUTHFULNESS, OTHERWISE WE
WILL NOT GET TO ANYWHERE. SO LET US TELL TRUTH TO EACH OTHER SO AS TO HAVE
ONE MIND TO ARCHIEVE OUR AIMS AND GOAL.
NOW I WILL STOP HERE SO FAR UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU EITHER BY CALL OR YOUR
URGENT RESPONSE.
MY REGARDS ONCE MORE TO YOUR FAMILY AND WISHING THEM HAPPY NEW YEAR UNTIL
WHEN WE SHALL SEE FACE TO FACE.
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESS IN ALLAH
