Where He made millions of GBP before he died mysteriously. Since his death in 2004 no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it and has no other beneficiary.I am only contacting you as a foreigner because Mr. Jacob Majeed has his record with the bank as a foreigner and so the beneficiary must be a foreigner.This money cannot be approved to a local person here without a valid foreign international passport, drivers license and foreign a/c, I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management of the bank is ready to approve this payment to you the foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction we can proceed immediately.Please I need your strong assurance in this transaction.
