Greetings,

I am David Thorburn Chief Operating Officer, Clydesdale Bank. I am getting in
touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar last
name and an investment he placed under our banks management 8 years ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a
result of this mail. I contact you independently and no one is informed of
this communication.

In mid 2001, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make
an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United Kingdom.
He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm. I
informed him that Clydesdale Bank would have to make special arrangements to
have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would
have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and
statutory charges.

He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained
to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across
boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I
contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to the security firm. I
undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions
to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security firm. The
Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high
net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable
products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This
small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly
placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money
was deposited with the security firm.

However Security firm got in touch with us last year that this money has not
been claimed. On further enquiries we found out that Anthony Died of a heart
attack in Cannes, South of France, which means he died intestate. He has no
next of kin.

What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be
made the beneficiary of these funds. My bank will contact you informing you
that money has been willed to you. On verification, which will be the details
I make available to my bank, my bank will instruct the headquarters to make
payments to you. You do not have to have known him. I know this might be a
bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I
propose that we split the money in half. In the banking circle this happens
every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state.

Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY
to these funds, and as a British National we see so much cash and funds being
re-assigned daily.

I would want us to keep communication for now strictly by email Please,
again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this
mail not without a measure of fear as to the consequences, but I know within
me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never
come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from
my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we casn be of one
accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please pardon my writing mistakes.

Please get back to me immediately.

I await your response.

David Thorburn.
