Subject: PLEASE READ.
Greetings,
I am Mr.Henry Okoye the Account Manager of Late Mr. Morris
Thompson in Standard Trust Bank Regional Office in Victoria island, here
in Lagos.However I got your contact through the International web
directory.I decided to contact you by email because I feel that it is
more secured and private.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money
Valued USD35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five Million Dollars only)that belongs to
one of our late Customer who died in a plane crash .During our
investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to Late 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.
The fund has been dormant in his account With this Bank without any claim
of the funds in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery of this development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed for
Seven years, it will be for feited no the Bank treasury as an unclaimed
bill.It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is
upon this discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you
to pull out this dormant fund. In order to avert this negative
development, I on behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your
permission to have you stand in as next of kin to Our late Customer so
that the fund will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary.s next of kin now that the bank is still expecting a next of
kin or relative of the deceased ,Late Mr. Morris Thompson.
In fact we could have done this deal alone but because of our position in
this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during
the time of transfer since we still work in this bank,this is the actual
reason why we required a second party or fellow who will assist us
forward claims as the next of kin and also provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately
to receive this fund, even an empty a/c can also serve for this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% as
gratification for your assisting us, and the remaining 60% will be for me
and my partners.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I
have in my possession, all the necessary Documents to successfully
accomplish the operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk
free.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your
positive response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish.
Find in the attachment of my Family Picture, to proof
who I am.
I await your Urgent Responce,
Regrads,
Mr.Henry Okoye
