Gold marchant Bank.

*Dear Friend
I am mr samuel petter the managing director to the foreign remittance
gold marchant bank in burkina faso in west africa..
I am contacting you for an urgent assistance of a transfer, On september
4,2003, a fixed deposit of 36 calender months was made in my branch valued
at GBP£10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION POUNDS) by one mr WARLNER who worked
with the oil company in saudi arabia, And after two years of making that
fixed deposit he was no where to be found and upon maturity in 2004
a routine notification was sent to his forwarding address but there was no
reply, And after a month we sent a reminder to his address in saudi
arabia and finally we discovered from his current employee in saudi arabia
that MR. WERNER and his wife and three children was involved in an auto
crash and unfortunately all the occupant in the vehicle were dead, then on
further investigation the board member of my bank was not able to trace the
next of kin to mr WERNER in germany and ever since that time this sum of
GBP£10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION POUNDS ) has been floating as an unclaimed
cash in my bank. And all effort to trace his relative has heat the stone,
And according to the law of my country that if by the end of five years
which will be this year (2008) and nobody come's for such money the money
will be reverted to the government tresure as an unclaimed money.
since all effort to trace his relative for the past four years was not
possible and i don't want this money to be reverted to the government, and
it has not be possible to present anybody from my country to this account as
the next of kin, Because the man was a foriegner, that is the reason i am
seeking your concient to present you as the next of kin to this account so
that the proceed of these account can be paid to you then i can come over to
your country for the disbursment and i will be compairsating you with fourty
percent while i will take the remaining sixty percent..
All neccesary document that will be used as back up is already arranged in
other to keep out from any breach of the law..
PLEASE IF THESE IS OK BY YOU FURNISH ME WITH THE FOLLOWING:
1. FULL NAME
2. YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND FAX NUMBER
3. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
4. AGE
YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AND
APPRECIATED.
BEST REGARDS,
