Subject: FROM MR WILLIAM PARKER.

Dear Friend,
My name is Willam Parker, I am a senior banker in a bank here in the
United
Kingdom. I am contacting you for a business transfer, of a huge sum of
money
from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring
you
that everything documents that will bring about the success of this
transaction would be provided, and all will be well at the end of the
day. I
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
The deceased person who died Neal Walker died in an air crash along
with his
wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other
passengers on board was an American Oilconsultant/contractor with the
Chinese Solid
Minerals Corporation. You can confirm his death from the website below
which
was published by BBC WORLD
NEWS.WEBSITE.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since
his
death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money
as
his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and his
wife
(May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his
account
unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next
of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked
to
make you
the beneficiary to the funds #6,100 000 00 GBP (Six million, one
hundred
thousand Great British pounds sterling) which will be released in your
favor
as the next of kin. Because after six years the money will be called
back to
the bank bond treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst
the
directors of the bank. so it is on this note I decided to seek for whom
his
name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather
han
allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the
end
of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an
order
of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please
acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor
by furnishing me with the following nformation if you are nterested.
1. Full names and address,
2. Telephone and fax Number.
3. your occupation.
For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other. I shall be
compensating you with 35% of the above amount on final conclusion of
this
project for your assistance, the balance 65% shall be for me , because
I
intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction . If this
proposal
is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not
take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your
urgent
mail now.
please structure your reply through this e-mail address:

Mr.Willam Parker
