cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,valued at
£9,500,000.00(Nine Million,Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) for twelve calender
months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Claude Brian Best
died from an automobile accident. On further investigations, it was
discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless.
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr. Claude Brian
Best did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the Bank.
The total sum, £9,500,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it.In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and
constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to
the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to
claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the
next of kin to late Mr. Claude Brian Best so that you and I can benefit from
the fruits of this old man's labour.
Upon acceptance of this proposal.I will forward to you the Payment
Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be
transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST
WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Claude Brian Best and to obtain all other
relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentations for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty percent for me, thirty five
percent for you and five percent for any arising contigencies during the
course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the
Bank's Branch Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction.

interests you, please reply me immediately via the email address:
