MR PAUL DOLL
MANAGER:
AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL BANK.(AIB)

Email: pd232002@box.az

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition having gone
through your remarkable profile on the Internet. Though, this medium (Internet)
has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest, surest and most secured
medium of communication. However, this correspondence is purely Private,
and it should be treated as such. I am MR PAUL DOLL from the AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL
BANK.(AIB), DAKAR-SENEGAL. Branch. This business request may seem strange,
but I crave your indulgence and pray you view it
seriously as I am convinced that you would be capable to provide me with
a solution to a money transfer. On June 6, 1999, an America Oil consultant/contractor
with Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Charles Ball made a numbered time (fixed)
deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
6,500,000.00 Dollars(Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch
upon maturity. I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Charles
Ball died in the plane crash On October 31, 1999, (an Egypt air Boeing 767
Flight 990) with other passengers on board as you can confirm it yourself
via the website below:

http://www.marsearthconnection.com/ea990.html on further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a Will and attempts to trace his
next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Charles Ball did not declare
any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
bank deposit paperwork in my bank. This
sum of 6,500,000.00 Dollars 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 African law, at the expiration of (five) years; the
money will revert to the ownership of the Senegal Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund .Consequently, my proposal is that I will
like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Charles Ball
so that the fruit of this old man's

labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full name and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,
which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the service of two attorneys for the drafting and notarization of
the Will and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate Administration
in your favor for the transfer. Any bank account in any part of the world,
which you will provide, will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into your account for us to share in ratio of 60% for me and
30% for you and 10 % should be for expenses, tax as your government may
require. The attorney and my position will do the paperwork for this
transaction as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the
private email address below, upon your responses, I shall provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand the transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,
as this transaction is 100% risk free. Please observe utmost confidentiality
and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both
of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.Please upon the receipt of this mail message, send to me the following
to enable me start the processing of the fund transfer into your bank account:
1.) The beneficiary's name. 2.) Your private / official telephone and
fax number. Awaiting your Urgent Reply via my private email:

pd232002@box.az

Thanks and God bless,
MR PAUL DOLL
