Subject: Proposition. Get back to me asap.

Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise,since I am Senior
Partner Mike Obi Jr contacting you to kindly assist me in the
proposition below, which will be of mutual benefit to us both.

PROPOSITION

A salvadorean, Mr. Ramirez Videurre, 66 years of age and a very
prosperous farmer made a huge bank deposit for investment in the sum of
US$21.2
Million(Twenty one.two Million, United States Dollars) he named his wife
Mrs.
Helga Videurre as the NEXT OF KIN . I was called upon as an Accredited
Attorney to the bank to sign and endorse documents to this deposit on Mr.
Videurre?s behalf.

Unfortunately, Mr. & Mrs. Videurre were killed in the January 14,
earthquake that rocked El Salvador ,killing thousands of people and 1200
others
were declared missing. The bank management now mandates me (beirin the
lawyer that signed and endorsed the deposit papers for the missing family to
trace the family relatives of the deceased so that the fund will be released
to them.

I was made to understand that they had no children.I made several
efforts through the El Salvador High Commission in Lagos to contact any of
the
deceased family relatives, but to no avail.Failure to reach any of the
family relatives of the deceased , the only option left for the Bank
Management is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the
fund on trading and investment in the interest of the bank.

In order to avoid this development since it has so farbeen impossible
to trace any of the deceased family relatives. I now seek your permission
and assistance to have you stand as a distant relatives to the deceased. So
that the fund can be released to you and we can use it for our mutual
benefit.

I hope you do understand my concern in this matter, that if we do not
use this opportunity to claim this fund , since the deceased relatives
cannot be traced,the management of the bank will declare the deceased
account
dormant and revert the fund on Trading and Investment in the interest of the
bank.For your assistance, you will be compensated adequately with(40%)
of the total sum (55%) will be my own share while (5%) will be set aside
to covering incidental expense made both at home and abroad prior to this
transaction.If you are interested in assisting me with this matter,
please send to me urgently via my EMAIL:mikeassociate02@yahoo.co.in the
following details below:

*Full name, * Private Address
*Telephone and Fax number(s).

Upon receiving the above details from you, I willwork out every
documents/proof representing you as the deceased BONA-FIDE distant
relative and when this is done, you will be contacted by the bank for the
release and collection of this fund, which will be within one week of my
receiving the above details from you .

I will meet with you in your country for disbursement after the fund
might have been released to you and also to discuss investment potentials as
I will like to invest in your country with your assistance.Be assured
that this transaction is 100% risk free,as I have taken care of all
necessary modalities to enable a hitch free transaction.

Kindly ensure to treat this matter in strict privacy(Highly
Confidential).

yours sincerely,
