Hello,

I am Mr. Patrick Berger the bills and exchange manager of a
bank in Switzerland. I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge
sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction
of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to
contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION;

We
discovered an abandoned sum of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars ($5,500,000.00) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since
his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay
claims for this money as the heir. 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. Upon this discovery,
we now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the
deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by us for
the funds ($5,500,000.00) to be released in your favour as the
beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know that we have
secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased
beneficiaries.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the
following;

1. Beneficiary name and address.
2. Direct Telephone and
fax numbers.

These requirements will enable us file letter of claim
to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour
before the transfer can be made. We shall be compensating you with a
million dollars on final conclusion of this project, while the rest
shall be for us. Your share stays while the rest shall be for us for
investment purposes.

I find myself privileged to have this
information and this is a great opportunity of a life time of success
without risks.

I await your urgent response to this proposal so that
I can give you the modalities on this transaction, and please respond
only to this email : patrick_berger1@operamail.com

My Regards,

Mr.
Patrick Berger
