MR.TOYIN EDUN.
THE MANAGER OF AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING DEPT,
METROPOLITAN BANK PLC
LAGOS,NIG.
EMAIL: toyin_edun500@yahoo.es
How are you doing with your family? I presume that all is well with
you.I am the manager of audit and accounting department at the foreign unit
of our bank.I got your contact from the international directory when i was
looking for a foreigner who will assist me to achieve a great success
business that will yeild us life success. Before i wrote you,i prayed that
you will be a honest and reliable person whom i can work with to achieve
this deal of our life.
From my section in the bank, I discovered an abandoned sum of ELEVEN MILLION
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($11.3m) that belongs to one of
our customer who died along with his entire famillies,on 25TH JULY,2000
CONCORDE PLANE CRASH[Flight AF4590 ] with the whole passengers aboard.The
name of the deceased man was (MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich,Germany.
You have to understand that i come acrossed this huge amount of money when i
was arranging the departmental customers file to submit to the bank
managementfor the annual audit of the year.Since the bank got information
about the death of the deceased man, the bank have been expecting his next
of kin to apply and claim his money because the bank cannot release the fund
unless a person from any foreign countries apply for the transfer of the
fund as the next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines but unfortunately i learnt through investigations that
all his supposed ne! xt of kin died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that you will
apply to the bank for the money to be release to you as the next of kin or
relation for safety and subsequent sharing since nobody is coming for it.
For us to achieve this businesss immediately,the percentage ratio for
sharing the fund when the bank release the fund for you must be arranged.So
i accept that thirty one percent of the fund(31%) will be for you as a
foreigner for the provision of any bank account where the bank will transfer
the money into including other of your particiaption during the process of
the transfer,Sixty percent (60%) will be for me as the person who explores
the business,Four percent of the fund (4%) will be for the expenses which
may come forth during the transfer of the fund, while 5% will be shared to
the helpless
peoples around us in the world such as ,motherless babies,charity
homes,disable peoples and so on.
Thereafter I will visit your country for sharing the money according to the
percentages indicated above.So for the immediate transfer of this fund into
your bank account as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the only
existening next of kin to the deceased customer by indicating in the
application the bank account formation where you will request the bank to
transfer the fund into.So if you accept to help me in other to achieve this
great business,i will send to you through email or by fax an application
form of claim which you will fill with your account information and send to
the bank for the transaction to start immediately.
Please i would like you to know the following information.(1.) This business
is HUNDRED PERCENT RISK FREE.(2.)You will not face any questions because the
form application will bear the brief information of the deceased which the
bank may like to know.(3.) If you will follow my instruction and
directives,this transaction will be completed with a short of time.(4.)You
should keep this business CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET untill the fund get
transfered into your account.
Finally,call or contact me through this my alternative email address:

will proceed with this business immediately.
