Subject: Auditor of the Korean Exchange Bank


From_the desk of:
mr. sang d lee

I am Mr Sang-Duck Lee, auditor of the Korean Exchange Bank, Seoul,South Korea. I have urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.

I am the Auditing officer to Mr Salah Adams (deceased) one of our foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw
his accounts and other official/financial obligations as my office demanded being his auditor.Unfortunately, he died along
with his entire family in the plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990 alonside other passengers.
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 Mr. Selah Adams did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$45,000,000.00 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 Republic of South Korea, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the South Korean Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.I cannot release the fund from h is account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Salah Adams so that the
fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to
provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of our bank attorney for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

Having made a very franatic and exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take
my chance with you.I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentations
including his certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him as he had a closing balanced of
US$45,000,000.00 here in our bank in South Korea. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our
mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments and file your name in form A2, T12 and other vital
forms as next of kin.
