On January 12, 1997 a Consultant and contractor with the British Water
Corporation Mr. Sean Burke by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$20.9M (Twenty Million, Nine Hundred thousand United States Dollars Only) in my branch.

Policies to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month we
Sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers
British Water Corporation that Mr. Sean Burke died in the Korean Air
Flight {801}, which crashed in Guam, on August 6, 1997.On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a
Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I
therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Sean
Burke did not declare any next of kin or relations in his entire official
documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$20.9M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a
Financial and Security Company for safekeeping.

Ownership of the British Government, if nobody applies to claim the
Fund.

Keeping and investments on his behalf as everything will be taken over

Edit of 1961.

kin of our late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum
of $20.9 million U.S Dollars that is presently in a Financial and
Security Company.
I contacted you because it is against the civil service code of ethics
to own and operate foreign accounts and your assistance would be needed to claim the money in the Financial and Security Company The

been perfected to ensure the hitch free success of the transaction.

to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and
