The Auditor General:

First State Bank;

113 W North Water St:

New London, WI 54961-1207.

I am Mr (false name). The Auditor General of First State Bank. In the course of our auditng I discovered a flaoting fund in an account in the Bank company which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner late Mr.Mark Michelle(untill his death), used to be a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in London . He was involved in an auto crash, unfortunately led to his demise.

Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country embassies to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. All attempt to get in touch with any member of his family has proven abortive. hence I got in contact with you. I have contacted you to Quietly assist me in repatriating this huge amount of money left behind by the deceased in my Bank before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the BANK/INSTITUTION.

The deceased had a deposit presently valued at USD25.2 million.

I am looking for a reliable and honest person/organisation that will be capable of providing an account or would be capable of setting up a new one so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD25.2 Million can be transfered into your account.

After going through the company records and files, I discovered that :

(1) No one has operated this account since 1993;

(2)The owner of the account died without a heir, hence the money has been floating.

(3) No other person knows about this account and there was no known beneficiary.

AND IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.

This money can only be approved to a foreign beneficiary with a valid international passport or

driver's license and an account, hence I am contacting you. I will require your urgent reply so that I give you the next step I am willing to give you 15% of the entire funds.

All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect from any breach of the law.

All I ask from you is the following:

1. Your full name

2. your telephone/mobile and fax numbers

3. your physical Address.

Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.

Best regard.
