Hello Sir/Ma

I will really love to pass this information to you and I hope you are the honest one that is really willing to take good care of 4 years old girl and a 5 years old boy that their mother came from unknown area in Poland and they live in UK their mother KAROLINA GLUCK died in Bomb Blast in London Terrorist Attacks on July 7TH 2005 and she left the sum of 8.6 million pounds in her account. And when you convert into USA dollars it’s about 12million dollars. One of the kid is deaf, the kids are in the UK hospital were doctor Benedict is taking good care of them.
You can confirm through this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4668245.stm) We shall love a good honest male or female with good decent background who can accept the two kids and take good care of them as his/her own kids, this is a private arrangement, every 4 months a rep will always come to check after them. And such that person will be given the 8.6 million pounds to take good care of the kids.
You will have to open an account with a bank that operates online banking system. Please write me back if you are interested so that we can work and perfect the documentations from there we can contact the bank that hold the money as soon as possible and also contact the UK government so that they can sign and agreed the kids to go with u and the money.
Please contact me as soon as possible. You are not allowed to respond to this email if you are not above 25 years of age.
