Hundred Thousand Dollars Only in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer (CHARLES BALASSAI,VALLEJO, CALIFORNAI) ,who died
along
with his entire family of a wife and three children in October 31,
1999 in a plane crash.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next of kin
to
come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we can not
release the fund from his account unless someone applies for the
claims as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant
relatives
has ever appeared to claim the fund.Upon this discovery,
I and other officials in my department have agreed to make a deal with
you and release the fund into your account as the NEXT OF KIN of the
decease, since no one came for it or discovered the maintained account
with our Bank otherwise the fund will be returned to the bank‘s
treasury
as unclaimed fund.

your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and my
colleages, and 25% for you,while 5% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the process of the transferring.
After the successful completion of this transaction,one of my
colleaguesand I will come to your country and mind our percentage.It
is
from our share we intend to import medical equipments into my country
as a way of recycling the fund.

your interest if this proposal is OK. by you or you do not wish to
