Subject: BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
Attn: Sir / Madam I am Jonathan Doma (Mr.), the Auditor General,All Standard Securities Limited. In the course of my auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner, a national of your country. I decided to track his last name over the internet to locate any member of his family hence I got in contact withyou. I want to transfer the sum of $18.5M from All Standard Securities Limited in his account overseas. I am therefore writing to ask you that you quietly partner with me and providing an account or set up a new one that will serve the purpose of receiving this fund. Even an empty account can also serve as long as you prove to be honest to me tillthe end of the deal. I hope you will never let me down. After going through the deceased records and files, I discovered that:(1) No one has operated this account since 1993;(2) He died without a heir; hence the money has been floating.(3) No other person knows about this account and there was no knownbeneficiary. And if I do not remit this money urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. This money can only be approved to you legally as you have the same LAST NAME. Hence I am contacting you. I will require your urgent reply so that I give you the next step. Kindly forward your telephone and fax numbers. I am ready to give you 40% for your assistance and partnership with me. I look forward to your prompt. Best Regards,Jonathan Doma (Mr.)
