Sir,

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of (us$34 000 000)Thirty four million us dollars.In an account that belong to our foreign customer an american late engr daniel B jones who died along with the wife and children in kenya air bus (A310-300)flight kq430 in november 1992.since after his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money as the heir because we cannot release any money from the account unless someone applies for claims as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines.
Unfortunately neither his family member nor distant relative has applied to
claim the fund.Upon this discovery I have dicided to make business with you
and release the total amount to you via a security company.I dicided to
make this bussiness with you because no body has come for the claim of the fund and the need to contact a foreigner and moreover to avoid it returned to our bank treasury as an unclaimed fund,because according south african act and law of 1993 any account that has no valid claim after 15 years will be revert to goverment treasury, the terms of sharing can be discussed if you indicate willingness of assisting us. I just got this email during a normal routing search with my secratary and please no that this information has not been disclosed with any other person.

istake
and I need your strong assurance. I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business believing that you will never Let me down either now or in future.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.
