Subject: Hoping To Hear From You
Dear Friend,
My name is Dr Willison Van, am the branch
and computer management department here
confidential business proposition for you.
On october 6, 2002, an American Geologist/Contractor with the Economic
Community Of West African States (ECOWAS), Dr. George W.Brumley From
Atlanta,U.S.A Deposited the sum of US$15,500,000.00 ( Fiften million Five
hundred thousand Dollars only) in my bank. Upon maturity,I sent aroutine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,the
Economic Community Of West Africa States (ECOWAS) that Dr George W.Brumley
died in a plane crash with his intire family in Kenya,East Africa in the year 2003.
I want you to visit the website below for more information about the PlaneCrash:

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that In the bank form
for next of kin, George W.Brumley Before his death filled his wife JEAN
BRUMLEY as his next of kin but unfortunately, the wife died with him along
others and therefore, there is nobody left behind to claim the fund of
Dr. George Brumley as his next of kin that was why I contacted you and
proposed it as a deal between us.
Meanwhile, Official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank as the next of kin was in the name of his wife. Based on that, No one
will ever come forward to claim itI will like to seek foryour
permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Dr.George W.Brumley
so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not be use for financing
weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 55%
for me and 40% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the
transaction.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done accordingly and with my position as the bill the
exchange guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

address: by indicating your address, Account number,
phone and fax number for easy communication. Upon your response, I shall then
provideyou with more details and that will help you understand the transaction

this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
