Subject: TOP OF THE DAY



From: Mr. Marc Donald Gerald
Bills & Exchange Manager
Allied Irish Bank
Bank centre,
Balls Bridge,
Dublin 4, Ireland.


Dear Friend,

PRIVATE AND URGENT.

I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a Hugh sum of
money
from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that
all
will be well at the end of the day. We decided
to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION;

We discovered an abandoned sum of US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million
Dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who
died
along with his entire family.Since his death, none of his next-of-kin
or
relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. We
cannot
release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as
the
next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery,we now seek
your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as
all
documentations will be carefully worked out by us for the funds
(US$20,000,000.00)
to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.

PLEASES REPLY THROUGH THIS CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ARRESS::mrmarcdonald@myway.com

It may interest you to note that we have secured from the probate an
order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries. 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 us file a letter of claim to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before
the
transfer can be made. We shall be compensating you with 2 Million
Dollars on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be
for us. Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for us for
investment purposes.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of
the trust we have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail.

Best Regards,

Mr. Marc Donald Gerald.
