this proposal will come to you as a suprise. This is because we have not

transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to both of us.First Let
me start by introducing myself properly to you.I am BELLO ANDREW ,Credit

THE PROPOSITION

steelcompanychairman with the Federal Government here in Benin untill his
death some years ago in a plain crash and he Deposited with us some amount
of money worth US$14,000,000(Fourteen million United States Dollars),the
company now expects a next of kin as beneficiary of this money and Valuable
efforts are being made by TRUST FINACIAL COMPANY to get in touch with any of
the MAHMUD ALI'S family or relatives but to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr MAHMUD ALI IBRAHIM (snr)'s next of kin (he had no wife
orchildren that is known to us).The management under the influence of our
chairman and members of the board of directors,have made arrangements for
the fund to be declared "Unclaimed"and subsequently be used to import
amunations into our country.
However,In order to avert this negative development,some of my trusted
colleagues and I,now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin
to late Engr MAHMUD ALI IBRAHIM (snr) so that the fund US$14,000,000 will be
released and transfered into your account as the beneficiary.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund has been carefully
worked out.We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate
any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so, we are assuring you that
this business is 100% risk free envolvement. Your share remains while the
rest will be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes anywhere
according to agreement between we and your goodself.
So as soon as we receive an acknowledgement of the receipt of this our
mutual business proposal from you,we would furnish you with the necessary
disbursement ratio to suite both parties.If this proposal is acceptable by
you, do not hasitate to contact me through my private e-mail :
belloandrew22@hotmail.com
