Subject: TREAT AS URGENT PLS!!!!!!!!!!
>From Dr Charles Frankleen
The Manager Credit and Foriegn Bills
Union Bank Nig Plc
Victoris Island
Lagos-Nigeria.
Attention: Sir/Madam,
This mail might come to you as asurprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine wish and
accept it with a deep sense of humility.
My name is Dr Charles Frankleen, the Manager, Credit and Foreign bills of
Union Bank Plc. I am writing you in respect of a foreign customer of our
bank with Account number 14-255-114 whose name is Late Mr. Morris Thompson,
an american by citizen who perished in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and
only daughter. May their gentle soul reposed in perfect peace.
The following websites could be referenced for your perusal and
favourable consideration:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally have watched with
keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no
one has come to claim his funds of US$15.5M (Fifteen Million Five Hundred
Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a
very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be
used
as the Next of Kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the
banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than Ten Years,
because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund
after
this period.
In view of foregoing, I got your contact through a trade journal when i was
making a research on a foreigner i will use in this great opportunity.
For your assistant i will give you 30% of the total amount then 10% has
been maped out to donate to the motherless baby home, while the
remaining 60% will be for me and my partner. Upon the receipt of your
response, I
will send you by fax or e-mail the letter of application which you will
type, sign and send back to our bank to enable us start this transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch
free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for
the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this
transaction
will be completed within five banking days of recieving your response, after
you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
Upon your receipt of my mail in this regard kindly send me an e-mail
signifying your
interest including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication
on my personal email address.
Please get in touch with me urgently so that we can commence our way to
becoming achievers.
Finally to convince you of the sincerity of this proposal, I will send
you my official Identification or International
Passport as the case may be for your perusal and favourable
consideration but only on my receipt of your guaranteed absolute
willingness to make this a fortune.
Looking forward to an urgent reaction.
Kind regards,
Dr Charles Frankleen
