From Mr.Frank Epum
Please accept my sincere apology if my proposal does not meet your
business or personal ethics, my name is FRANK EPUM a Banker with STANDARD
BANK here in South Africa, I am the account officer to Ms. Arvelo Doryce, an
American who has a domiciliary account with our Bank worth of
USD$6,200,000,00 in our Bank.
On the recent meeting held by the Board of directors of my Bank, it was
among the top of the agenda to look for any of Ms. Arvelo Doryce
relatives since she forth not coming up for her annual up dates of her
funds for decades, to avoid moving her funds to the Escrow account as
unclaimed funds.
As her account officer, I decided to contact you so that this deal will be
between you and me, as I will present your data's to the Bank directors as
the relative to Ms Arvelo Doryce to enable them transfer the funds to you
through my perfected plans towards the entire
transaction.
But if you are not interested please do not disclose or discuss this to
any one to avoid lapses with my plans, It is my intention to form a
company with you when the funds are transfered into your Bank account.
I wait to urgently hear from you with your information to enable us
proceed immediately.

Mr.Frank Epum
