Subject: I Crave Your Indulgence
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT:
ECO BANK PLC. DAKAR,
SENEGAL. Branch.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am using the only secured and confidential medium available
to seek for an assistance in a business transaction. I am
Baptist Cameron of the ECO BANK , PLC.DAKAR;SENEGAL.
I crave your indulgence and pray you view it seriously as I am
convinced that you would be capable to provide me with a
solution to this money transfer.
On August, 2001, a retired Atlanta physician Mr George Brumley Jr
made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at ninteen million dollars($19.000,000) 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 his contract employers, that the Atlanta
physician Mr George Brumley Jr and his family died in the plane
crash On july ,2002.May there Gentle soul rest in peace.
On further investigation, I found out that he died alongside with
his next of kin and attempts to trace his further next of kin were
fruitless.
Since i got information about his death, we have been expecting
his extended next of kin (family members)to come over and claim his
money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it
as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidlines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. This sum of
ninteen million dollars($19.000, 000) and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. If no one ever
come forward to claim it, at the expiration of (four)years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Senegal Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal to you is that I will like you to stand as
the next of kin to Mr George Brumley Jr and claim this funds so that
the fruit of the old man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt Government officials. This is simple, I will like you to
provide immediately your full name and address so that i can apply
for an Attorney on your behalf who will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the service of a probate attorney for the drafting and
notarization of the Will and obtain the necessary documents and letter
of probate administration in your favour for this transfer. Any bank
account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in ratio
of 40% for me and 40% for you and 10% will be set aside for expenses
incured during the process while the other 10% will be given to charity
organisation.There is no risk at all;the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by the attorney and my position as the banks branch Bills
and Exchange Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
Please reply immediately via my private email address below .Upon
your response,I shall provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Do observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us

following to enable me start the processing of the fund transfer:
