Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not
a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. I am Barr. E.A. Peters.
A Caribbean citizen resident in London. I am the personal Attorney to one
Mr. Morris Thompson, I handle all his legal matters. 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. 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/ and http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
It was a sad news indeed. The said Mr. Morris Thompson deposited a fortune
with a Security Company. When I notified the Security Company on the death
of my client I was told to come-up with the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson
to claim his fortune. Ever since then I have searched all I could to reach
any of Mr. Morris Thompson relation/relations but all was in vain. Particularly,
the deceased had an Amount of Fifteen million dollars {$15m} deposited with
this Security Company as a family treasure in Ghana where traded so much
in Gold, he was about transferring this Funds before he meet his untimely
death.
The Security Company recently issued me a notice to provide my client's
relation(s)/next of kin or get his Funds confiscated within the next 21
days, they complained that they have given me enough time to come-up with
the next kin to my client since his death, only God knows how much I have
tried to reach any of Mr. Morris Thompson relative(s) all proved to no avail.
That was why I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased to make the claim since you have noted to be upright in all business
relationships, instead of allowing those greedy directors of the security
company to confiscate the fund as they are threatening to do. If you agree,
we can discuss the percentage you will have as compensation on your involvement.
I am in possession of the entire document required to make the claim, I
guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
So there is noting to be scared of. One thing I assure you is that there
is no risk involved, this transaction is 100% risk free, and all that is
required of you is trust since this fund will be transfer to your account.
I will update you with further details as soon as I hear from you through
my private email address; peters_chamber4@yahoo.co.in.
Please treat this proposal as confidential.
Best Regards
Barr. E.A Peters
