During the course of our auditing last week, I discovered
a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 2006
and since 2009 nobody has operated on this account again,

including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to
claim the money . No other person knows about this account
or any thing concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
the account is a secret account.
The total amount involved is One hundrend and sixty
million US DOLLARS only [160,000.000.00 DOLLARS ] and we
wish to transfer this money into a safe foreigners account
abroad. But I don't know any foreigner; I am only

any breach of the law. The bank official will destroy all
documents of the transaction immediately you receive this

business, you will be given 30% of the total amount, 70%
will be for us. PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET.
