From: "mohd ahmed" <mohd_ahmed@islamicvoice.com>
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2006 11:56:45 GMT
Subject: send your postal address/tel number

My Dear,
Thanks very much for your respond on my request for  an assistance on this transfer project,it is not a spam but real and i will send you my identification later as we progress as i never  meet you.
Nothing much is expected from you than to stand  as the next of kin to our  late bank custormer Mr David Ameeraly  who died on the plane crash as you can see in my first formart to you.
I just want to assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free on your side as i have taken my time to work out mordalities for the smooth transfer of this fund to any one i will choose to execute this transaction with.

My Dear,   this transaction is bank to bank transaction, you will  be required to present  your bank account information where you want this fund to be transfered .
Although i have never seen you face to face but luck just destined this transaction to you because after my prayers  on whom i will have this transaction executed with, the luck  went straight to you, so i decided to contact you and confirm your capability to champion an international transaction of this nature which requires maximum trust and top secreet.
I got your contact in the  internet while i was browsing  and i decided to contact you and solicit your  assistance.

As a bank Manager, i can not and will never stand on my own as the next of kin to our late bank custormer and this is the reason  i decided to contact you because another person must stand as the next of kin.

And i my self  as the insider who knows every thing about this transaction  will work with you  with my position and direct you  on how to apply with our bank for the remittance of the fund to your account instead of the fund going in to the  bank treasury.
I want you to feel free  and get back to me  with your postal address  and your direct telephone number  so that i will immediately  apply on your behalf as the next of kin and also direct you to the bank Attorney who is to help us perfect all documentations to your name before the bank  will make the remittance of the fund to your account.

As soon as i hear from you, i will update you with all the necessary informations and documents for the claim of this fund as you will present to the banking authorities on demand.
Thanks as i expect your urgent attention.

Mr Saleem M.Ahmed.
