I am Mrs. Regina Shujmeda from London, I am 51 years old, a widow to late Mr.John Shujmeda who was the President of agricultural equipment giant AGCO Corp, who perished on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash in Birmingham.

After going through some files of my late husband, I discovered a Deposit Certificate of (£22 Million) (Twenty-Two Million Pounds) with a Bank in London. But due my suffering from a protracted cancer of the lungs which I later taking to Spain for treatment, I have not been able to claim this fund from the Bank, as I have been in the hospital in Spain hoping to get better but my sickness continue getting worster. From all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may not live beyond the next Six months to eight months, this is because the cancer stage has reached a critical stage. I am contacting you because, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that some of the money held in dormant accounts would be used to fund youth and community projects for your confirmation please visit :

I am contacting you based on trust to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin and Bonafide Inheritor to my Late Husband’s fund, since I cannot claim this fund myself now and I may not live beyong next six-eight months according to my Doctors, but I have the faith in God that I will live more than the months my Doctors said by God grace. Presently, I'm using my laptop in the hospital where I have been undergoing treatment in Spain. Please! Please!! Your help is needed to avoid this money been diverted to the Government of UK Treasury as unclaimed fund/dormant account. Imagine somebody who have no child, I have nobody taking care of me here in the Hospital. My major operation is coming up on first week of December and the money I have now is limited. Of which, that £22 Million is my only hope to continue my treatment here in the Hospital, and hopefully by God grace I will survive.
If you will so kind to be of help, I will be very glad and only God will reward you for that. I have wrote the Bank about the Fund and they advise that I should provide with them my late Husband's supposed next of Kin. I have contacted you your assistant, beleiving you will not disappoint me when the Fund is paid to you as next of Kin to my late Husband. Upon the successful claim/transfer of the fund in your account as the next of Kin, 40% of the total fund will be taking as your own share, 45% for me while the remaining 15% goes to the Orphanage homes.
Your assistant will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless.
Mrs.Regina Shumejda ( Widow).
