Dear Sir/Madam,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my colleagues =

US$35,000,000.00(Thirty five Million US Dollars) in my branch. On maturity, =
I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. =
After few months, I sent a reminder to him and discovered from his contract =

bank as dormant account.According to Senegalese banking law,if this fund is =

Senegalese Government Treasury Account . We cannot release this money unless =
someone applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased. This is the =
situation now, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner who will =
stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin.
This is simple. All you have to do is to immediately send me the details of a =
bank account any where in the world for me to arrange the proper money =
transfer document. The money will then be transferred into the account for us =
to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.There is no risk =
involved. I will use my position and connection in the bank here to do all =
the documentation for the transaction. We shall employ the services of an =
attorney to draft the will and obtain all necessary documents and letter of =
administration in your favor for the transfer. This transaction is totally =
risk free. If you are interested, I will send to you a sample application =
that you will send to the PACIFIC BANK PLC authority, for an approval to =
submit your claims.If you are interested,Send your reply through my direct =
and private email address,indicating your direct Fax and telephone numbers =
for effective communication that this transaction needs.
Please note that all the documentations and every banking documents needed =
