I am Mr Mike Okiki, an accountant officer with Citi Bank,Plc here
in Dakar Senegal. I gathered your information from my country's
international chamber of trade and commerce, The business I am about

The money and property left behind by Dr.Solomon who died accidentally
On the 21st of April 2000, Dr Solomon Komana, his wife and their two
Children were killed by rebels on the past crisis in Liberia during the
Time of their formal president Charles Taylor near their village called
Kuru .I gathered all this information through a good source after my
several routine note to his forwarding address. Because he had served
here in Dakar Senegal as a business consultant with the Senegalaise
National Petroleum & Gas Corperation.SNPGC and a special ass advise to the OPEC.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here in Dakar
senegal to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you as his account officer to work with you before the fund get confiscate
or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly. Now the management has been dlibrating on how to revert this fund
to the bank privacy and Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now,I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased since you are a foriegner so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $15.200,000:00 can be paid to
you and then you and I can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to
you, while 10% will be maped out for any miscellaneous expenses that
might incure in the cause of this transaction.
I have all the necessary legal documents to back up this claim, and
this I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in
the wrong hands. All I require is your honest and sincere co-operation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this transaction
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
and I from any breach of the law. Reply me through my e-mail address
