As you know from the mail, we want to put you in as the next of kin of the
late Engr Kurt Kahle. who is a Contractor here in NIGERIA and he died in a
AF4590 plane crash on his way to America after he left London to Germany for
business untill his death he has an account with our bank with a closing
account of us$10.5m and since his death nobody has come up to claim this
money from our bank.
>From the information's gathered in the late Engr Kurt Kahle's file there is
no trace to anybody who has any blood relationship with the late Engr, this
makes us know that once there is an application from any foreigner applied
to the bank, in respect of this fund, the bank will have no alternative
than to transfer the money to the person.
You can take time and verify from the website as shown herein for
confirmation of the crash,

has been claimed as the next of kin
