or relation before our discovery to this developement.
The said amount was EIGHTHEEN MILLION united states dollars.($18.000.000)Meanwhile
all the whole arrangement to put the claim over this fund as the bonafide
next of kin to the deceased;get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business
pportunity.
Infact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civiassist(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and wouldeventually
raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer becuase i work
it may be after due verification and assist by the correspondent branch
of the bank where the money will be remitted from to your own designation
bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On

conclude this deal with you.

the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
