Subject: URGENT PLEASE GET BACK TO ME

Greetings Dear Foreigner , I am Reverend Rafael Williams ,I am a banker in by profession and Head of Accounts Management Section of Union Bank of Africa . I wish to solicit your assistance in a deal that involves reasonable amount of money. This deal by virtue of its nature must be utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that this will be done under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of the law. We had a client by name Mr. Paul Louis Halley who was one of the richest man in France . He was into several business before his untimely death by air crash. This website will give you comprehensive picture of what I am talking about ( http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/oxfordshire/4537663.stm ) He died along with his lovely wife ,Before his death he deposited the Sum of $18.5 Million (Eighteen million Five Hundred United States Dollars) with our bank here in Africa without a next of kin. During the bank audit exercise last week , the bank discovered my late client's deposit as an unclaimed credit balance, hence issued me a notice to provide any relatives of my client otherwise they will have the account closed and the fund confiscated. I have made several inquiries to his high commission to locate my client's extended relatives, but all my efforts proved abortive, I then decided to trace his relatives or family member over the Internet, and hence I found you as my instinct convinces me that you will be a trustworthy and honest business partner and I decided to contact you to assist me in repatriating my late client's deposit before it got confiscated or declared unserviceable . I now seek your permission to present you as my deceased client relative and have you stand as the Next of Kin to my deceased client so that the funds of $18.5 Million (Eighteen Million Five Hundred United States Dollars ) can be released and paid into any of your nominated account as the beneficiary and next of kin. The fund belongs to a foreigner and can only be claimed by a foreigner as according to our banking policy here ,This why i need your assistance, for i have lived all my life in Africa and do not have a contact abroad. ' Our Financial Institution is presently and by law the custodian of the money belonging to the deceased, whose account I am responsible for officiating. The present mandate I have to present a credible beneficiary opens the way for us to take advantage of the situation and use the money to positively affect the lives of many, instead of allowing the funds to be completely lost, since no one knows about the money and no one will come forward to claim the money as we already know and guaranteed . i assure you that this transaction is totally risk free and legal as the fund is Legitimate.We will follow due Please send to me your contact Telephone number.... and the Country you reside in so i can discuss this matter more with you.I expect that you will not take undue advantage of the trust I will bestow in you I want you to know this transaction will be directed by me through the help of my Barrister ; He will help us secure all vital documents that will support your nomination as the Next of Kin, What I require from you is complete trust and honesty. I pray that the grace of our Lord Jesus and the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family.May God bless you as you do your work.it is not good to abandon this fund in the bank while people are suffering . i await to hear from you today Sincerely, Reverend Rafael Williams
