Dear Friend.
I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a
deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will
make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will
be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to the urgency
of this transaction.
PROPOSITION:
We discovered an abandoned sum of US$11,500,000.00 (Eleven million five
hundred thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers Mr. Andreas Schranner from Munich, Germany) who died
along with his entire family in Jully 2000. Since his death, none of his
next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as
the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies
for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to have you
stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be
carefully worked out by us for the funds (US$11,500,000.00) to be released
in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know
that we have secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of
deceased beneficiaries.

project, while the rest shall be for us. Your share stays while the rest
shall be for us for investment purposes. If this proposal is acceptable by
