The Funds totaling ($14,700,000) I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this fund cannot be approved to a local Bank here, because the funds are in US Dollars.

You can confirm from this website http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Please, I am proposing 30% for you for your assistance while my colleagues and I 60% and 10% for charity. Please if you are interested kindly send your names,age and telephone/fax numbers to me for further details.
