FROM THE DESK OF :
DR. MICHEAL FREEMAN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY,
MERCANTILE TRUST BANK PLC.
Email: michealfreeman@myway.com
Good Day,
I am Dr. Micheal freeman, Executive Director in charge of claims and indemnity
of Mercantile Trust Bank Plc and I write with great pleasure on behalf of
the Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life
in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed into the
Pacific Ocean not far from Los Angeles, on January 31 2000, including his
wife (Thelma) and their only daughter (Sheryl) when they were heading to
San Francisco and Seattle from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a vacation .
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this sites.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ AND http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatves to come over and claim his Inheritance worth about
E19.3M ( Nineteen Milliom, Three Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterlin)
which he deposit with us before his death, because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation as stipulated
in our Banking guidelines.
Since the day we got the information about his death, we have made several
enquiries to his embassy to locate any of his extended families or relatives
since we were left with all the necessary documentations that will stand
as an evidence of claim to his Inheritance, but all effort has proved abortive
so far as we learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter
(Sheryl) died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of his Inheritance.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I as the Executive Director in
charge of claims and indemnity and two other officials in this department
now decided to seek for your consent if only it will be your wish for us
to present you as the distant cousin to the decease person, So that the
proceeds of his account valued at about E19.3M ( Nineteen Milliom, Three
Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterlin) can be routed into your bank account
as designated there in your country, since nobody is coming for it and we
dont want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed Bill.
Hence, The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money after
five years will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
After the Inheritance has been transfered into your Bank account, I and
my colleagues will have to come over to your country and have our own share
of the money or a bank-to-bank transaction shall be used to remit our own
share of the money into a designated Bank Account here in my country.
I guarantee you that this Business will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law and be further informed
that everyones interest and security had been considered before you were
contacted, so be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction
with us.
As per the mode of sharing, We have agreed that 20% of this Inheritance
will be for you as the foreign partner, 70% will be for me and my colleagues
while the remaining 10% will be map out for all the expences that will be
incured throughout the duration of this transaction. Hence, all we require
from you is your Honest co-operation and faithfulness to enable us work
as one family.
Please In the event of your inability to handle this transaction , kindly
inform us ASAP so that we can look for another Reliable and trustworthy
person who can assist in this Respect.
Awaiting your urgent and favourable response.
Regards,
DR. MICHEAL FREEMAN
(Executive Director, MTB Plc)
