company now expects a next of kin as beneficiary of this money and Valuable
efforts are being made by TRUST FINACIAL COMPANY to get in touch with any
of the MAHMUD ALI'S family or relatives but to no avail.*

*It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr MAHMUD ALI IBRAHIM (snr)'s next of kin (he had no wife or
children that is known to us).The management under the influence of our
chairman and members of the board of directors,have made arrangements for
the fund to be declared "Unclaimed"and subsequently be used to import
amunations into our country.*

*However,In order to avert this negative development,some of my trusted
colleagues and I,now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin
to late Engr MAHMUD ALI IBRAHIM (snr) so that the fund US$14,000,000 will
be released and transfered into your account as the beneficiary.*

*All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund has been carefully
worked out.We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate
any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so, we are assuring you that
this business is 100% risk free envolvement. Your share remains while the
rest will be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes anywhere
according to agreement between we and your goodself.*
