Subject: Business Proposal
Attn: Managing Director/Ceo
Dear Sir,
I am Macaulay Obeh, the system and control director at the FIRST DIAMOND SECURITY & FINANCE B.V here in Amsterdam-The Netherlands.I am writing this letter to solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my bank, lying in an inactive account is the sum of 8.5milion Euros belonging to a foreign customer (Michael Gambone) who was a gas consultant here in Netherlands,who happens to be deceased during a business trip.
He died with his wife (Deborah Gambone) on board the Swissair Flight 111 , which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd 1998. The news of this crash was on the news which we have notified his relatives and all to no avail.
See links below for more detail informaion:

Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of kin to come and claim these fund. To this effect, we can not release the money unless someone applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our banking guideline.Unfortunately he has no family member in Netherlands or Over-sea who are aware of the existence of the money(as he was a gas consultant. At this juncture I have decided to do business with you.To this effect I solicit for your assistance in applying as the next of kin to the bank then the money will be released to you,as I do not want this money to go into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill,because the banking law and guideline stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed for a period of up to eight years(8yrs),the money will be transferred into the banks treasury as an unclaimed bill.
My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Dutch Citizen of Netherlands cannot stand as next of kin. 40% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner and your assistance to actualise this business,5% for any expenses incured. Thereafter I will visit your country with your help once the money hits your account for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as agreed,you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased,then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you, the text of the application you are to send to the bank,and further clearify you in other issues as to affect this business. Note that there is risk nor danger involved during and after this business so be rest assured of that okay.
Please use my private email address first for easy contac (macobeh1930@yahoo.com)
Awaiting to hear from you urgently.
Best Regards
Mr Macaulay Obeh
