of the transaction,During our investigation and auditing in the bank,
my

bonafide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward to you upon your
acceptance information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate
your
interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to
this
great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this
country as a civil Servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account
and would eventually raise an eye brown on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank,This is the actual reason why it
will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the
next of
kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a
foriegn
account where you will need the said money (USD$10.5Million) to be
transfered into after due verification and clarification
to designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free,
On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of
the
total sum as ratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone
bills
etc,
While 60% will be for me you are adviced to keep top secret as we are
still
in service and intend to retire from service after conclude this deal
with
you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until
you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your
country for subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or
any
other country you may advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from
