at gulf Bank plc , and had a closing balance as at the end of March
2002 worth us $34m (Thirty Four million united states dollars)
which the bank now expects a next of kin or Beneficiary. Valuable efforts
are being made by the gulf Bank to get in touch with any of the huish
family or relatives but there has been no success It is because of the
perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr reed
huish next of kin
Because he had no known wife nor children that is known to us. with refference
to this The management under the influence of our chairman and some
members of the Board of Directors ,

worked out,as we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus
to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries and more so we are assuring
you of a 100% risk free involvement
Your share stays while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues
for investment purpose in your country
We have agreed that the fund be shared thus after it has been transferred
into your account while 30% of the money will go to you for acting as
the beneficiary of the fund , 5% will be set aside for reimbursement
to both Parties for any incidental expenses that may be incurred in
the course of the transfer,then the remaining 65% will be to us the
originators of the transaction.

undue advantage of trust,which we have bestowed on you , then kindly
