Dear Friend,

I AM MR MIKE PAUL, The head of auditing and accounting section of
(HMB) HALLMARK BANK PLC in West Africa.

With due respect and regards,I have decided to contact you on a
business at hand that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.

Here in this bank existed a documant account for the past 8 years which
belong to a American national late Mr MARK WOOD who died on
Airlines Flight
but,since then we have not had any body coming for the claims as the next of
kin.

A sitaution I have monitored closely with my position in the bank.Now,
having monitored this deposit over the years after his death, and hence
nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past three and half
years, I have moved the file to my private volt.

The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$9.5million US
dollars).

Now my questions are:-

1. Can you handle this project?

2. Can I give you this trust?

3. your commission will be four million us dollar usd$4million?

If you can handle this transfer. Consider this and get back to me as
soon as possible with the following.

1.your full name

2.your full address

3.your age/occupation

4.your direct phone/fax numbers for easy communication



We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank
account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary|next of kin.

Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained
herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy
it deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this
project. email me for confirmation. I am expecting your urgent response as soon as you
receive my message.

Respectfully yours,

MR MIKE PAUL
