Africa with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.

department came across a very hugesum of money belonging to a aperson who died
on in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
with out any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation
before our discovery to this developement.
The said amount was
TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDERD THOUSAND united states dollars.($22.5000.000)
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put the claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased;get the requiredapproval and
transfer
this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate
your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity.Infact i could have done this deal alone but because
of my position in this country as a civiassist(A Banker),we are not allowed to
operate a foriegn account and wouldeventually raise an eye brow on my side
during the great business opportunity.Infact i could have done this deal alone
but because of my position in this country as a civiassist(A Banker),we are
not allowed to operate a foriegn account and wouldeventually raise an eye brow
on my side during the time of transfer becuase i work it may be after due
verification and assist by the correspondent branch of the bank where the money
will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not
fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion
of this transaction,you will be entitled to 40%of the total sum as

and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with
you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until
you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country
for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment,either in your country or any country you advice us to
invest.All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when i hear
