I am Mr.Donald Edeth, Working in department of Fund Released Order. I know the letter might come to you as surprise, but take it like your own deal. Engr.Robinson Elliot, executed contract through Federal Ministry of Works & Housing (FMWH) here, the contract worth of (US$9.750M) but on the process of transferring the money to him, he died with his family in earthquake disaster that occurred recently in Iran. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/3350195.stm).Meanwhile, his money has signed to pay in my office before I will give order to the final endorsement of his money. Nobody knows what is going on except my colleague and I. The late contractor's information will be made available to you base on your co-operation. You will act like the beneficiary of this fund, since we have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives. I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you would understand facts with me, so that the remaining proceeds of this account valued at US$9.750M dollars can be processed and paid to you and then both parties can share the money according to our agreed sharing ratio. I will send to you the whole relevant information that is required of you to know in this transaction immediately you accept to co-operate with me. Send to me your:1. Your private's phone and fax.2. Name of your company or any company's name you want us to use as the beneficiary company's name. I have decided to go into negotiation with you base on sharing ratio of this money, but both of us need to bear in mind that 5% of this money will go for Homeless in your country, while 5 % will be for any expenses you and I might incur in the processing of the contract funds into your name/favour. This has 100% no risk. I am going to my retirement very soon, so need this money to take care of my family in future.Waiting your urgent reply.Yours truly,Mr.Donald Edeth.
