Senior Foreign Remittance Director of a Bank[SGBS], during the course
of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 2000 and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account

that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money
is floating

industrialist.He made millions of dollars before he died victoriously.

me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and
fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the

bank, as an official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with

to build confidence you can wrote immediately to discuss with me the
modalities,after I will make this remittance in your presented account
