From: stephen gluo <gluomen@yahoo.ca>
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 12:27:02 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Greeting to you
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but
I believe it is only a day that people meet and
become great friends/ business partners. I am Mr GLUO, currently Head of Corporate Affairs Department
with a reputable bank here in Senegal. I write you
this proposal in good faith, believing that I can
trust you with the information I am about to reveal to
you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On June 7th,2000, a German
engineer who Head the BMW Company here in Senegal
Mr.Christian Eich made a (Fixed deposit) for six years
valued at 17,500,000.00 (Seventeen
Million Five hundred Thousand Pounds only) in my bank
and I happen to be his account officer before I was
moved to my present position recently.
The maturity date for this deposit contract was last
3rd of June 2006. Before this date, I have tried my
possible best to locate a Next of Kin to late Mr.
Eich, but all efforts prooved abortive, because all
his family, including his Son In-Law and children died
in the plane crash of Concorde Air France Flight
AF4590 which took place on 31th July 2000, some months
after he did the deposit in my bank.

With the recent change of Central Bank Government in
my country and with their efforts to support the
United Nations in checkmating terrorism aid in
Senegal.
By end of may this year, the Federal Government
and the Banking Government has pass a new Financial
Control Law which will give the Government authority
to interrogate all Foriegn account owners of above 5
million Pounds to explain the source of the funds,
making sure it is not for terrorism support.which will
take effect from october this year if i do
not move this money out of the country immediately, by
October the Government will definitely confiscate the
money, because my bank cannot provide the account
owner to explain the source of the money since he is
late.
I decided to utilize this life time opportunity,
instead of Government confiscating them, but I cannot
directly claim the money without the help of a
foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an
assistance. As the Account Officer to late Mr. C Eich,
coupled with my present position and status in the
bank, I have every vital informations that can help for
the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes
up as the Next of Kin to the account, with the correct
information oncerning the account, which I shall give
you. I am having the secret Code for the account,
which only the account owner of his Next of Kin can
know.
I shall supply all necessary information we need for
the claim and there is practically no risk involved,
the transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law. If you accept to work with me, I want you to
state how you wish us to share the funds in
percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. I
shall explain to you in details how we shall handle
the transaction once I receive your response. Thanking
you in advance and May God bless you. Please, treat
with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent
response.
Regards,
MR GLUO
