account was mapped out for the refurbishment of the Oil Company's
Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon, the President of the Oil company
was the Only signatory to the account, but unfortunately he died after a
brief Illness in 1993. And no other person knows about this account or any
Thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary. And my
investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his death Had wanted
to siphoned that money into his personal account in New York Hence he did
not disclose the operating devises of the account to the Board of Trustees.
I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are A
foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner Who can
present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of
Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon The
owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved
into a foreign bank Account. Therefore, if you are capable of handling this
transaction with me, lets Make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free
transfer of this Money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a
share Percentage bases. However, we shall sign a binding agreement, to bind

I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let Me
down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I Am
contacting for this business, so please reply urgently and indicate Your
sincere interest, so that I can inform you on the modalities Already mapped
out for the hitch-free transfer of the money out of Africa here. I you I
need your full co-operation to make this work adequately. Upon your Positive
response and once I am convinced that you are capable and Willing to meet up
with the nstructions of the top bank official that is deeply involved with
me in this business, I shall commence actions Immediately to process the
