Good day to you,

I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. My name Mr.Larry Lee senior audit officer and also an accounting officer to late Mr. Adam Thomas, German who died along with his wife in a plane crash on 22 August 2006 (Pulkovo Airlines Tupolev 154M) near Donetsk, Ukraine.

Our late customer was a successful man, an oil magnate here in London and he left behind the sum of £20.5million British Pounds Sterling(Twenty million five hundred thousand British Pounds) in his domiciliary bank account here in London. He made enough fortune before his untimely death, since then I had made several Inquiries to locate any extended relative of his but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.

Since his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody apply for it as Beneficiary as indicated in our banking guidelines.

The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that after expired time period of such money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.

The supposed next of kin being his wife died along with him in the plane crash, having no children and leaving nobody with the knowledge of this funds behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one other official now decided to make business with you and release these money to you as the Beneficiary so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at (£20.5 Million USD) can be paid to you since nobody is coming for it and we don't want these money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed funds.

We agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while the balance will be for me and my colleague. I will visit your country for the disbursement of these funds according to the percentages indicated above once the funds get into your account. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through, the whole transaction should not take longer than 5-7 business days to be completed.

Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. All necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been finalised, further details will be given to you when I do receive your response.

If you are interested in this project contact me for further directives.

Best regards,

Mr.Larry Lee
