FROM THE DESK OF:MR JOHN KENNEDY
BARCLAYS BANK PLC LONDON.
UNITED KINGDOM
Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography,I
am I Am Mr John Kennedy,The Auditor General BARCLAYS BANK PLC in
London there is a friend who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of
September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to
Geneva.Please see site below for more information.
There is this immigrant (Denis Maillet and Karen and their son, Robert)
who was a gas consultant here in UK, who happens to be one of our very
good clients.
He died with his wife (Karen Maillet) on board the passengers and 14
crew members who died in the crash of Swissair Flight 111. Swissair
provided nationalities which crashed into the Pacific off of British
Columbia on September 8, 1998.The news of this crash was on the news
which we have notified his relatives to no avail. Before his death, he
was having a closing balance of ?10.5Million (Ten million five hundred
thousand pounds only)in my bank with account number: 01514770727 &
deposit code no:ptbaxbsl. Upon maturity,a routine notification was
forwarded to his address but we got no reply.

All attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made
further investigations and discovered that (Mr.Denis Maillet) did not
declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents,
including his bank deposit paperwork in my bank. However, during our
further routine audit check, I saw your name and e-mail as the only
benefactor and heir apparent in one of the forms he filed with us and I
have to contact you. This sum of ?10.5m has beenfloating as unclaimed
fund since 2000 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit
the stones.
According to the British Law, the money will be revert to the ownership
of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. To
avoid this money being sent to the British Treasury as unclaimed
funds,I have decided to contact you so that the said fund would be
released in your name as the next of kin and paid into your account. If you are willing to be a part of this fortune transaction, I oblige you to send the following details below:
Full Name..............
Occupation................
Nationality.................
Mobile/phone number...........
Fax......
Age....
Sex.....
Address...........
Email:...........
With these available details I'll file an application in your name
after which I'll send you an official letter of claim for you to send
to the bank via e-mail. If you are interested you can reach me on my
private emailaddress: jennedy11999@yahoo.dk
Yours Faithfully
Mr John Kennedy.
