Dear friend,
Please I beg your indulgence if this message comes to you as a surprise and
may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent
and writing through this channel. But I believe it is only a day that
people meet and become great friends and business partners or more.
I got your contact from a professional database found on the Internet while
searching for a reliable and honest person.
Before I introduce myself, I wish to let you know that this letter is not a
hoax mail and I beg you to treat it seriously.
My name is FRANK OMOS, 49 years old. Managing Director, Bond Bank Plc.I am
divorced, have 3 kids living with me at home. I'm 5'11 tall. black. I love
animals. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love to travel. I love the outdoors,
swimming, riding, skeet shooting, etc..I have a healthy and active social
life.
I used to head the accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December, I was asked to take position of the Managing Director of the Bank
who passed on, so that was how I became the present Managing Director.
As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $5,410,000
million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years. From my
investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Mr. Morris
Thompson an American great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261
which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site, which I got
during my investigation;

The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank and
no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of the
account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money as
next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson, meaning that no one is aware of the
account. This is because Morris deposited this money with the bank while he
was on business trip and no one in the United States is aware if he ever
deposited such money outside the country.
I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and
that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and
share it with me. As the Managing Director, I have the power to influence
the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin
to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I
shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to you. There
is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we
can go over the details.
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost
confidentiality.
I await your urgent response.
FRANK OMOS
