Good Day,
 
Kindly accept my apology for contacting you via this medium. 
Although,we have never met before. Nevertheless, I have every reason 
to believe that you are a highly respected and trustworthy 
personality. I got your contact through your country's chambers of 
commerce and Industry.Although, I don't know you personally but I 
believe God has made this contact possible and also hope you will not 
disappoint me for trusting you.
 
Permit me to seek your attention in so informal a manner.I am Mr.Vadim 
Alexandrovitch Petrov, Bank Manager of URALSIB BANK OAO RUSSIA and i 
have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On 
November 6, 2003,a British Oil consultant/contractor with YUKOS OIL 
COMPANY(Russia's Largest Oil Company), Made a numbered time (Fixed) 
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$40,000,000.00 (Forty 
Million United States Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a 
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
 
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his 
contract employers, the Russian Solid Minerals Corporation that he 
died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found 
out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his 
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further  investigation and 
discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations in all his 
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
 
This sum of US$40,000,000.00 (Forty Million United States Dollars) is 
still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with 
the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever come 
forward to claim it. According to Laws of Russia, at the expiration of 
6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Russian 
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my 
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the 
next of kin to the man so that the fruits of this old man's labor will 
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
 
This is simple, We shall employ the services of an attorney for 
drafting and authorization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary 
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the 
transfer.A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide 
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the 
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for 
us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you.
 
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will 
be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager 
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are 
interested, please reply immediately via the private email address  
vadim_petrov016@yahoo.co.uk
 
Please observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that this 
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall 
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
 
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Thanks and regards.
