Dear Friend,

Good day to you.

My Regards to you and thanks for taking your time to read my proposal. I
am Mr.Toni Kuminkov the General Auditor of BANCO SABADELL MADRID SPAIN. I
don't think it is quite clear to you or maybe a surprise that I sent this
email to you because I am seeking for only one godly person to work with.
Let me clarify you now to avoid any misunderstanding, I am also conscious
of my job and safety of my clients money. I will tell you the truth and
also who my client is. Please I want you to keep this strictly confidential.
His name is Mr. Alberto Collins, who was the Manager of Diamond Safari (PTY)
S.A. He died as a result of a motor accident on the 15th May 2001. I just
came across his file again when I was auditing all the credit account in
BANCO SABADELL by the ending of the 2002 fiscal year, and I find out that
nobody has ever come on behalf of the late Mr. ALBERTO O. COLLINS as his
next of kin to claim the funds.So right now His A/C # 5005874BS1000 is floating
with about Forty Five Million Euro (Euro 45,000,000.00).This money has been
floating in this since Account since 2001 after his death.

And I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this information.
In this case I have concluded to contact you if you are reliable to execute
this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on how to claim the Funds
as the next of kin to the late Mr. ALBERTO O.COLLINS, so that the funds could
be transfer to your

overseas Account, if only you can co-operate with me and not to betray me
at the end. As soon as you confirm your interest and co-operation I will
give you the guidelines on how you can transact with the bank for the approval
of the funds to your A/C. I am willing to split this fund with you in the
percentage of 65% for me and 30% for you, while 5% will be kept aside for
any expenses incurred while we areTransfering the Money As soon as the transaction
is over I will secretly destroy all documents that will lead to the trace
of this transfer.Also I want you to send the following information to speedy
the process.

1 Your full name

2 Your Ocuupation

3 Residential Adress

4 Age and your private Telephone number.

I await your soonest respond.in my private email.
