Dear Sir, I am Mr. Joe Michael , an official with one of the international bank in Netherlands. My colleagues and I have an urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. On the 6th of June 1998 an American gold miner in south Africa ran an account with us and his present balance is valued at US$38,500,000.00 (Thirty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) in my Bank. We sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally, we discovered from his employers that he died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, we found out from his account file that he never made a will and all attempt to trace his next of kin was fruitless, as he had none. We therefore made further investigations and discovered that he did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents in the Bank files. This sum of $38.5 Million is still lying in the bank and the principal sum and interest is being rolled over at the end of every year. As it is now, no one will ever come forward to claim this money. According to the Netherlands law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if unclaimed. Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand in as the next of kin. This is simple; all we need is some of your details so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which would put you in place as next of kin. An accredited Attorney will draft and notarise all necessary documents and letters of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. The money would be shared in the ration that we both shall agree upon. There is no risk at all as the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as a manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via email. Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for us. I shall still require your assistance to invest my own share in your country just incase you can help; otherwise we'll take our share. Awaiting your urgent response. Best regards, Mr. David Banda N.B. PLEASE ALL CORRESPONDENCE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS: jmich1225netscape.net
