Dear Friend,

My name is Mr.Forster Aneke,Manager,Credit and Foreign Bills,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB]. I am writing in regards of a foreign
customer of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t who died in a plane
crash [Korean Air Flight 801] eight years ago.His name was Burke Sean.

Since the demise of this customer, I personally have watched with
keen interest for his Next of Kin to come forward to claim his funds. But
uptill now, no one has come forward to do so.His account is credited to the
tune of Twenty-six Million United States Dollars[Usd.26m]only.

Consequently,I have now taken it upon myself to seek out a reliable person who
will stand in as Mr.Burke Sean's Next of Kin so that with my aid, the money
will be transferred into his/her account.This has to be done fast as any money
lying in a dormant account for up to ten years will be forfeited to the Federal
Government.

In my bid to do this, I came across your name on the web and I just decided to
see if you can help me out with this transaction.Ofcourse,you won't be doing
this for nothing.I am willing to give you a third of this amount at the
conclusion of this transaction when the money must have entered your account
and I arrive your country.

You don't have to worry about the modalities of pulling this through as once I
am convinced of your willingness to do this and your trustworthiness,I will
discretely give you all the information you need to see this deal through.

Upon the receipt of your response, I will give you details on how to
execute the transfer.Believe me,as long as you work according to my
instructions,this deal can be done with and the money transferred into your
account within ten Bank days.

I shall expect to hear from you Asap.Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
decision including your full particulars i.e private Tel/Fax numbers for quick
communication.Please,these your numbers should be very confidential as I don't
need to tell you that this must be strictly confidential.

You can reach me on the telephone numbers above or contact me through my
private email: foranek_200@yahoo.com

Best Regards,

Mr.Forster Aneke.
