Good Day To You,

I am MR OLIVER NOEL a Manager in one of BARCLAYS BANK PLC's Branch Office
here in London.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I got your
contact from the world trade center (W.T.C.) regional office here in London
(UNITED - KINGDOM). In January 1999, a Russian oil consultant / contractor(
MR. ZIYA BAZHAYEV) made a numbered-time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar
months valued at US$18,700,000.00 (Eighteen Million Seven hundred thousand
US Dollars)in a Domiciliary Account in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent
a routine notification of Account Status to his forwarding address but got
no reply.

After two months, we sent a reminder of same letter and finally we discovered
from his contact employers,Oil Alliance company,his Company 's branch in
London , that Mr.Ziya Bazhayev died in a plane Crash of Yak-40 jetliner
on March 9, 2000 May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, as you can confirm
this news from the following websites.

<http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/031500/usn_LA0703.001.shtml> or
<http://news.1chinastar.com/ll/english/61934.shtml>

After further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and
all attempts to trace his Next-of-kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that MR. ZIYA BAZHAYEV did not declare any
Next-of-Kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit Papers.
This sum of US$18,700,000.00 is still floating in our Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No
one would come forward to claim it.
According to our British Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds.

Consequent upon the above, my proposal is that I would like you as a foreigner
to stand in as the Next-of-kin to the Late MR. ZIYA BAZHAYEV.I will quickly
work out the full documentation and transfer the US$18.7m into your nominated
account anywhere.You would be fully rewarded with the 25% of the total sum
after when the money has been transferd to any of your nominated bank account
of your choice. Send me your opinion to this request by my email adress
mrolivernoel@yahoo.co.uk and I shall give you more details promptly.***KEEP
ALL COMMUNICATION SECRET****

Best Regards,
Mr. OLIVER NOEL.
