Dollars. from a Bank here in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia an oversea account.
Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.
This is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential.

receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end
of this important business.Trusting in you and believing that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am the personal account officer to a great late INDUSTRIALIST who has
an account in one of the top banks here in Malaysia. The account was opened
in 2000 and he died in the year 2003 without a written or oral WILL and since
then nobody has operated on this account again,hence the money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing,
since the bank has been sold on Wednesday, 19 March 2003 to another bank and
the management of the bank is now ready to release the fund to any foreigner
who has the correct information of the account before fully handing over the
management to the new bank.The owner of this account is a foreigner and no
other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary.My investigation through the National immigration
department proved to me as well that he was single as at the time of his
entry into Malaysia.
The amount in this account is {$26,000,000.00 USD}Twenty Six Million United
States Dollars only.As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund
broad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the
management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has the correct information
to this account,which I will give you immediately, if you are interested to do
this business with me.
There is no risk to this business. With my position and my personal contact with
the manager of the bank,the money can be transferred to any account you can provide
with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your
country for division.We will start the first transfer with Ten Million [$10,000,000.00].
Upon a successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining balance of $16 Million to your account. I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person
here, but can only be approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of the
account which I will provide to you.So you should provide me with your correct account
detail where you will like the fund to be transferred,or you can set up a new account
for the transfer even an empty account is ok.

positive contributions to enhance that the transaction succeed,and the remaining 80%
will be for my colligues and I. which I intend to invest in any area you deem profitable.
In your country.As soon as I hear from you,and upon your strong assurance that you will
not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will then start to process the
transfer of the fund to your account without further delay.
