from your friend

[Gidado Bello]

GOODDAY,
My name is Gidado Bello, I am a consulting auditor with one of
the prime banks here in South Africa.  I am writing in respect of a
foreign customer of my client bank who perished with his whole families 
on 25TH JULY, 2000 in CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] with the whole 
passengers on board.
During the course of my auditing work with my client bank, I discovered
 an account opened in the bank in 1998 by this great late INDUSTRIALIST who 
died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account.
Since his death, I further investigated with keen interest to see if I can
get any relative of the late industrialist but all has proved abortive as
no one has come to claim his funds and no other person knows about this account 
or anything concerning it. The account has no other beneficiary and until his 
death he was the CEO of his company.
The total amount involved is.[Thirty Six Million United States Dollars]. 
We wish to start the first transfer with [Ten million dollars] and upon 
successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall 
re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a close confidant attorney
whom I must involve in order to assist us produce legal back-up 
documents which would substantiate your claims and also enable us have a smooth 
and successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are 
going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who 
will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing 
his/her bank account where the fund will be transferred.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six years 
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as 
unclaimed after this long period of dormancy. 
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if
 you can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or
find a reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in
his or her personal account. At the conclusion of the transfer 60% of 
the fund will be for me, I will give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 
5% for charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5%
will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the
 transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized
within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of 
the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. I look forward to your earliest reply.
You should also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy and safe 
communication.
Respectfully yours,
               Gidado Bello.
