unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
the Diamond Trust Bank of Nigeria Plc where the deceased had an account
valued at about twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000:00).


Now the management has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account frozen. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over 2 years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin to the deceased since you are a foriegner so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $20,000,000:00 can be paid to you and then you and I
can share the money. 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% will be maped
out for any miscellaneous expenses that might be incure in the cause of
this transaction.

I have all the necessary legal documents to back up this claim, and this
I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong
hands. All I require is your honest and sincere co-operation to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from
any breach of the law. Reply me true my e-mail address dankaro11@tiscali.it
or call me on my private direct line 234-8033243536 and ask me any question
you did not understand regarding to this transaction.

Looking forward to hear from you.
