Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Musa Aliu, I am an Accountant with Royal Trust Bank Plc. I
am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank (Late Mr Kurt Kahle)
who had a plane crash and died (along side his family on transit to New
York to join a Caribbean cruise for a "vacation) on 25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE
PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers aboard,see below
Website for more information about the plane crash.

There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR and a man ran a private business
school in his country died without a written or oral WILL attatched to the
account. Since his death ,I personally have watched with keen interest to
see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim
his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he
was the manager of his company. The total amount involved is $300,000,000.00
(USD).
We wish to start the first transfer with US$200,000,000,00.[200million] and
upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we
shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account. I
have secretly discussed this matter with the General Manager of my bank who
I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the
fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate.On this
note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign
beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank account
where the fund will be transferred into for immediate investment on any
viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy. In view of this, I
got your contact through my personal search to see if you can assist me by
providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person
who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account. At the conclussion of the transfer, 65% of the fund will be for us
here,we would give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both
in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to
settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process.
TO PROCEED,
I would like you to send me the information of any account of your choice
where you will like this fund to be transferred into or open a new account
where you will want this money to be transfered into.This transaction is
totally free of risk and trouble as the fund is a legitimate fund which does
not originate from drug,money laundry, terrorism or any other illegalact.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk and
trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities
for fund transfer can be finalized within 7to 9 banking days, after we apply
to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
However, we shall meet in your country three bank working days to discuss
what capital venture to invest the fund into in your country with your
Technical-knowhow. Please do include the following information in your
response to this partnership Idea:
(1)Full Name
(2) Telephone & Fax numbers
(3) Residential Contact address
(4)Occupation/marital status
(5) Age
Please endeavour to reply me via my alternative email
address(mr_musaaliu02@yahoo.co.uk )
With the above information about your person I shall ask the legal advisor
of the bank to prepare the documentation in your name as the bonafide owner
of the fund.
Best Regards.
Mr. Musa Aliu
