*Dear Friend
I am writing you from Cotonou, republic of Benin. I work in a bank here and
there is the sum of $11.5M floating in a dormant account that belongs to a
late Mr Bill Galer our customer who died along side his younger brother in
the plane crash of December 2003. **

*I will like this money to be transfered into your account as the next of
kin of the Mr Bill Galer because the money will automatically go into
government treasury at the end of this year. Reply this mail while I furnish
you on how this will work out. *
*Yours faithfully,
Dr Koffi Azizi*
