Dear Friend,

In order to transfer out £15,000,000,00 (fifteen-million pounds
sterling) from our bank we need to look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable for this important transaction, believing
that you will never let us down either now or in future.

I am the auditor and head of computing department of a bank here in
Scotland, United Kingdom. There is an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire family of a wife
and two children in the Sept.11 2001 terrorist attack on America.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to
come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot
release the fund from his account unless "someone" applies for claim
as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. Unfortunately, none of their family member or distant
relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this
discovery, I and other officials in my department have agreed to make
business with you and release the total amount into your account as
the heir of the fund since no one has come for it nor discovered he
maintained an account with our bank,after going through some old
files, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently, it
will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account was Mr. John Hughes who was a foreigner and
the manager of Petrol chemical service here in London, a chemical
engineer by profession, We need to transfer this money into a safe
foreign account abroad but I don't know any foreigner, I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to any local bank here in Scotland, but can only be approved to any
foreign account because the money is in pounds sterling's and the
former owner of the account was a foreigner too.

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't
know our selves before neither have we met, but be sure that it is
real and genuine. I believe in God that you will never let me down in
this investment. When the transfer is approved and payment schedule is
allocated overseas, through the offshore paying delegate for final
clearance and signing of the payment release form by the beneficiary,
I want us to see at the overseas payment clearance office face to face
for signing of the original binding agreement to bind us together so
that, we can receive this money into a foreign account or any account
of your choice where the fund will be remitted.

I need your co-operation to make this work out, because the management
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has the correct
information to this account, which I will Give to you when sure of
your capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and my advice for our mutual benefit
because I don't want to make any mistake, I need your strong assurance
and trust. I shall destroy all documents concerning these transactions
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace at all.

I will use my position and influence on other staffs to effect the
legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from foreign payment department. With assurance
that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your
country for the sharing and possible investments. Please do reply me
through: williamsbenjamin@mmail.com or call me on my private mobile
phone {447040108476}

Thanks and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Williams Benjamin
