across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a
foriegner who died on november 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been
dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation beforeour discovery to this
development. YOU CAN COMFIRM IT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS WEBSITE
(www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html)
Although personally,I kept this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution.The amount involved is USD$14m(fourtheen
million united states dollars). As it may intrest you to know, I got
your impressive information through an international business equiry on
internet.I beleive you will be viable and capable to champion a business
of such magnitude without any problem.Meanwhile all the whole
arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the

account has been put in place and directives/needed information will be
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to
assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.In
fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow

Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need
the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be, after
due verification and clarification to designated bank account.
