Subject: MY PROPOSAL
WILLIAM KHUMALO

Greetings to you,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a
hoax mail or scam and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come
to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet
and become great friends and business partners. My name is DR. WILLIAM
KHUMALO, the present branch manager of Standard bank of South Africa Ltd. I
write you this
proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information
I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will
benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
As the manager of our bank, last December I discovered an account with total
sum of $50,000,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 4
years. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one
Late Mr. Capt. Ted 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;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
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 the late Capt. Ted Thompson, meaning that no one is aware of
the account. 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 Manager of my bank, 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 yours.
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 or investment, 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 wait your urgent response. You can as well contact me by
my phone and my private email address. williams2010k@yahoo.com

Regards,
DR. WILLIAM KHUMALO
