There is a credit balance Ten Million, two hundred thousand Dollars which has been dormant for five years and still counting.

My proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money which was fixed deposited. This is simple. An Attorney will prepare the required documentations to put you in place as the beneficiary of the funds. The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email and upon your response, I would provide you with details that will help you understand the transaction. I at this point would advice you to please instruct me on how best to contact you.
If you do in anyway feel this transaction could be jeopardized by this your receiving mail box, you could provide me with an alternative one which would be deemed to your opinion more secure.
Do observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us. Due to the nature of confidentiality in this transaction our communication can only be via email and fax mostly. I do anticipate a response soonest so I could brief you on the full modalities of this transaction I hope we both enter into.
Please note, if you are not interested, I ask you disregard this mail and me, because I have put in many years of meritorious service to this bank and therefore would not want my reputation dented or my family names dragged in mud, I therefore urge you to handle this proposal with strict confidentiality. Please treat with strict confidentiality and utmost urgency.
