My name is Dr.Moses Ezeh the manager, credit and foreign bills of AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB]. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my
bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t who perished in a plane crash
[Korean Air Flight 801] with the whole passengers and his name was Burke Sean.
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come
to claim his funds of usd.60m, [Sixty million united states dollars] which has
been with my branch for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for
whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come up to be the
next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay
more than five years, because money will be recalled to the bank treasury as
unclaimed after this period.

I will give you (USD10M) million united states dollars of the total. However
we shall make some expenses for the purpose of this transaction while I will
take care of the lawyer fees that will get the legal documents needed for the
transaction. As soon as I hear from you I will send you by fax or e-mail the
application , and then tell you the next step to take. I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within
seven banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.

For confirmation you can go to www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list


Respectfully submitted,

Dr.Moses Ezeh
