Urgent Attention,

I have a proposal for you - this however is not mandatory nor will i in any
manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Mr Chuks Daniel, a Regional Manager with a reputable bank in
Lome-Togo(BANQUE INTERNATIONAL DU AFRIQUE),Here in this bank existed a
dormant account for the past 8 years which belong to a KOREAN,American
national who is now late Mr JUNG WOONG KIM,
When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this
account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation
and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late
person is aware of this account.
This is the story in a nutshell.
Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer this funds.I
have all the required document that will proof you as the next of
kin,because i work in the bank Adutting Department.
There after, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this
account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have
worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation,The amount is not so
much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this
account stands at-(US$ 9.5 million US dollars).
Now our questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer.
Consider this and get back at us as soon as possible.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained herein be
accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it
deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.

Respectfully yours,
