My bank is not aware of this. If they get to know before action, the FUNDS =
shall be reverted as unclaimed FUNDS as usual, since the owner died along w=
ith his family. I am really against this act, as i would not want this FUND=
S to be automatically turned a property to my bank who never laboured for t=

e don't take me for somebody bad, its just what you would do if you where i=
n my shoes. Hence i am writing to you as a foreigner to please allow me put=
you forward as the next of kin (beneficiary) and have this money transferr=
ed out of my bank in your name to another bank with same TELEX TRANSFER SYS=
TEM (TTS) with my bank, then we have the FUNDS sheared 50/50 between you an=
d I. All the paper works and documentation shall be handled by me as the ac=
count officer to this deceased customer and the service of a reputable atto=
rney i shall employ to give us the legal back-up to all our proceedings and=
get the money transferred in your name out of my bank. So be rest assured =
that this transaction is risk free and you absolutely have nothing to loose=
.=20
I will want this to remain between you and I until everything works out as =
planned. I shall tender my resignation letter as soon as we succeed, i woul=
d not want to retire with any trace of embezzlement and corruption. I shall=
also seek your advise on getting my shear of the money invested in your co=
untry base on your advise.=20
