your mutual assistance at all cost.

of
project and cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit, valued at £19,500,000.00(Nineteen Million,Five Hundred
ThousandPounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser died in an air disaster on October 31st, 2000.
On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making
a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless. On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr Mohamed
Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the
Bank.The
total sum, £19,500,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as
the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser so that you and I can
benefit from the fruits of this old man's labour to enhance humanitarian
Organisation Worldwide.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you either by fax or
email a scanned copy of the HSBC Bank, Plc."Next of Kin
Payment Application Form"as well as detailed information on how this deal
would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all
other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for
payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
