The stories are being europeanized!

It looks as though all these stories are being changed to give the impression that potential victims are dealing with europeans and european companies. This is not true.

It's Africans who are behind all of this, regardless of where they say they are from.

RE: TRUSTING YOU IN ACTUALIZING THIS GOAL

Dear Friend,

Let me start by introducing myself to you, I am Tom De Swaan, Chief
Financial Officer, ABN AMRO BANK. I saw your contact during my private
search in the internet and I want to believe that you will be very honest,
committed and capable of assisting in this business venture.

Firstly, let me explain the source of this funds and what you are expected
to do. A foreigner, LATE DR. GERALD A. SOFFEN was an astronomer and had a
functional account with the ABN AMRO BANK NETHERLANDS until his death some
years ago. The deceased Late Gerald A. Soffen banked with us and had a
closing balance as at 22nd November 2000 worth € 24,500,000.00 (Twenty Four
Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros). My bank now expects a next-of-kin to
claim the funds as the beneficiary. Efforts have been made by ABN AMRO BANK
to get in touch with the Late Gerald A. Soffen’s family or relative but to
no avail.

Based on the perceived possibility of not being able to locate Late Gerald
A.soffen’s relatives, the management under the influence of our chairman and
the board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared
unclaimed and channeled to an unknown account. It is based on this that I
have contacted you to stand as the next-of-kin of Late Gerald A. Soffen so
that the funds, will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary/next-of-kin to the deceased.

All documents to enable you get the funds have been carefully worked out as
I have secured documents from the different offices concerned for the smooth
transfer of the fund to your nominated account. It has been agreed that you
will be compensated with 30% of the remitted funds, while I keep 60% as my
share and 10% is been set aside for both local and international expenses
that might be incurred in actualizing this transaction.

If this proposal satisfies you, please reach me either by mail;
tomdeswaan_22@walla.com, or phone; +31 64 921 4989, for more clarification
about how this will be done.

Yours faithfully,

TOM DE SWAAN
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
ABN AMRO BANK NETHERLANDS.
