LONDON SW 1 Y4 AU

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Ibrahim Abd-El-Fattah, General Manager of National Bank Of Egypt,
London,United Kingdom Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the South Africa
Minning Corporation, Mr. Charles Anderson made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five
Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from the south Africa minning Corporation
that Mr.Charles Anderson died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Charles Anderson did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will ever come forward to claim it and according to my country Law, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Egyptian Government, if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr.Charles Anderson so that the fruits of this man
labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately, your full names and
address so that the i will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
which will put you in place as the next of kin. I will in your name resume
the processing and notarization of all the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor in order for the transfer to take
place.
A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money/fund to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 70% for my side and 30% for you. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by an Attorney and my position
as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my private email
address.I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Ibrahim Abd-El-Fattah.
