From: "MR. HABIB ABDUL" <habibabdul@keromail.com>
Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 00:13:28 -0500
Subject: FROM MR. HABIB
Habib Bank AG Zurich,
264 Upper Tooting Road,
London SW170DP,
U.K.
I am a staff of Habib Bank AG Zurich London U.K. I am writing following an
Oppurtunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of £10.5million
British Pounds Sterling (Ten million five hundred thousand British
Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers
Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American 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 about the crash on visiting this site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with
the knowledge of this fund. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now
decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and
subsequent disbursement within us.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money, after five years, would be
transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds if no one comes forward for the claim
within this period.
We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,
while the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your
country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated
above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me
and trust is our watchword in this transaction.
Note, this transaction is confidential and risk free. So, if I don't hear from you within
three days I will assume you are not interested and will solicit for a new partner, but if
you are interested let me know by contacting me via Email address:
habibabdul@keromail.com, Please, forward your contact details and list your private phone
& fax Numbers so we may communicate with you. This is important as we would have to talk
about the modalities of the transaction.
Best regards
Mr.Habib Abdul.
