in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this
confidencial business transaction. A foreigner, Late Engr Dahlig
Michell until his death in Korean Air flight which Crashed in Guam on August
1997, banked with us here and had a closing balance of US$20.5M (Twenty
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) which the bank unquestionably
expects it to be claimed by any available next of kin of the late
beneficiary or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for Arms
and Ammunition at a National Military War College here in Nigeria.
Valuable effort have been made by our Institution to get in-touch with
any of the Michelle's family or relative but proved to no avail.it is
because of the perceived possiblity of not being able to locate any of
the late Engr. Michell's next of kin that the management under the
influence of our chairman and Members Of The Boards Of Director that an
arrangement be made for the funds to be declared Unclaimable and
subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition to further
Enhance the course of war in Africa and the World in General as you know

this negative development, I now seek your permissionto have you stand
as the Next-Of-Kin Of . Engr Dahlig Michelle so that the funds US$

pay into your Bank Account as the Next Of Kin. Just recently the funds
was moved to one of THERE off-shore Finance Company Abroad while the
arrengment is also been made to donate the funds if no available next
of kin comes up.
This is a deal between you and I only. All Documents and proofs to
enable us get this Fund will be carefully Worked out and more so I am
Assuring you a 100% Risk Free Involvment in this deal. your share out of the
$20.5m depends on our agreement as we procceed with the deal. I will
