Good Day,I will give you the name of my bank and other important informationif I receive a positive reply from you.For security I cant disclose my full identity to you until I am sureof your cooperation .I work in the operations department where I serve asan account officer to many customers.One of the customers whom I worked as his account officer was awealthy diamond merchant fromneighboring Sierra Leone. He had lost his family during the during theSierra Leone war and had managed to escape to this country with hiswealthyintact.Unfortunately he died last year. Because of his goodness to me when hewas alive, I took it up myself to travel to his country last month tosee if can locate any of his close relations. on reaching there Idiscovered that his only surviving uncle died a few months back. Isponsored this trip on my own and nobody in the bank knew I undertookthisjourney because I did not present any official report based on it.Now there are two things I can do with regards to the dead man'smoney. First as his account officer I could formally notify the bankauthorities that the man is dead and has no next of kin. In this casethemoney would be forfeited to the government after sometime. As a matteroffact this is the proper thing I am supposed to do. Another option is toarrange for someone else, a foreigner to act as the next of kin of thelate man so that he will claim the money. This option that I can taketo help anybody and myself since the money came from public fund in hiscountry. Actually he was a close ally to the late brutal militarypresident that looted the government treasury to his fill. This is thereason why I have chosen to do it and want you to be my partner torealize my aim. All we have to do is to present you as the next of kinofthe dead man and with my experience we can Claim this Money. As theaccounts officer of the dead man I have all the necessary informationaboutthe Account that you will require to claim the money in the account.Thetotal amount in the account is US$15 million (15,000,000). Your sharewill be 40% of the money, which is US$6,000,000 while mine will be60%..Reach me immediately by email(on: abdul01@mail.com) so that I can give you further details.TrulyAbdul.
