Mrs.Benita Harris
Abn Amro Bank Nv
Amsterdam,Netherlands.
Dear Friend,
l am Mrs.Benita Harris Credit Director,foreign exchange department Abn Amro
bank. I am contacting you for a transferring of a huge sum of money from
a deceased customer's account with us to your any nominated account. l need
a reliable and trustworthy person to handle this business.
Really, I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive
and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been carefully taken
care of, and it is all risk free. Being the Credit Director I have every
opportunity to divert this fund quietly to your bank account, the discovered
foreigner account of late Morris T Bailey, of Fairbanks, Alaska America,
has been dormant for years due to the fact he was on 31st January 2000 involved
in the Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crash.
Since his death, none of his immediate family member is alive to put up
the required claims for his deposited money with us, because they all died
in the same plane crash.
At the bank, we cannot release this fund from his account unless someone
applies for the claim as the nearest person to the deceased as indicated
in our bank rule and regulations.
And after five years and six months, if the money is not claimed, it will
be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shall
be shared amongst the share holders as the bank profit, it is on this note
that l decided to seek for a reliable person that l shall be used as the
nearest/beneficiary to this funds rather than allowing the bank shareholders
to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the stipulated period.
Please give me the following information if you are interested.
1.Your name/address, in order for me to prepare the document for
transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Your direct Telephone and fax numbers. For our personal contact and mutual
trust in each other.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please endeavor to contact me immediately.
Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you,
I await your urgent response
Mrs.Benita Harris
