Dear Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise. This is
because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this email
by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutualbenefit to the
two of us.

Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK], who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April
1996, my client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car
accident along
Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident,Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to
locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind
by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that
you are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$27million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America dollars).Conseqently,The
bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated
within the next ten official working days.since i have been unsuccesfull
in locating the the relatives for over several years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million U.S dollars can be
paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 60%to me and
30% to you,while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your governmen may
require.Your information such as below:

we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with
me by this my email ......[frankabuoo2@yahoo.com] .......to enable us discuss
further.
