UNITED STATE DOLLARS. in account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers Late Mrs. Maria Sanchez an American who unfortunately lost his
life on a crash which takepleacs on January 12 2001, including his only
daughter. I must at this juncture let you know that if I do not remit this
money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing.and will get into the
hands of some corrupt government official.
