My Dear Friend,
I got your contact on my private search for a reliable and trusted person to handle a transaction of this nature. I know that the contents of this mail might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that every word of it is true.I am Mr.Mark D.Anderson, a credit officer with AFC Merchant Bank.I have a concealed business suggestion for you.Before the plane crash of Mile Krstevski on February 26, 2004 ,Mile Krstevski from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,macedonia and also a business man made a fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of Nine Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.You can visit this website:

The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution and as the accounting officer to Mile Krstevski I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 14 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. Further investigations revealed that Mile Krstevski did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of her deposit in my bank. So Nine Million,six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.What bothers me most is that the directors of my bank had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1991 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me, despairing at the point of exhaustiveness but fortunately, I came across your name. I will like you to stand as the next of kin to Mile Krstevski so that you will be able to receive this funds.
However, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the deceased. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mile Krstevski. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Be Inform also that we shall share the funds in the ratio 70% for me and 25% for you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when I hear from you. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated via my private email address(admark04@gawab.com).
Kind Regards,
Mr.Mark D.Anderson.
