Dear Amin
I am Mr. Francis Thalawa, Divisional Head, Foreign Operations Office with
the International Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one late
Engineer Walter Amin , of your country, who till his death was a
contractorwith Impressario Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and
Nigerian Ports authority. On the 28th of November 1999, Engr. walter, his
wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Gwagwalada
express road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.
At the time of his death, Walter had a deposit of $15.6 Million which was
proceed of a contract work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports
authority.The payment was made with an Ecobank cheque which I personally
cleared. Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for
his deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention
tothis matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary
to his deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do especially as you
share the same last name with him and it will not take time too. All we need
is to change the name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our
computer database and we file in an application for the release of the fund
through the Probate Office in your name.
It does not necessarilly mean that you must be here to conclude the deal,we
may request that the money be sent to Europe or even the United States for
payment. Please contact me as quickly as possible on email;
francis2444@mail.ru or francisthalawa@latinmail.com. Wewill talk about the
sharing ratio as soon as you get in touch with me.PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU
USE GIVEN EMAIL ADDRESS Email; francis2444@mail.ru or

Kind regards,
Mr Francis Thalawa
