Dear Sir,
Greetings, I am Mr.Henry Okoye the Account Manager of
Late Mr. Morris Thompson in Standard Trust Bank
Regional Office in Victoria island, here in Lagos.
However I got your contact through the International
web directory.I decided to contact you by email
because I feel that it is more secured and private.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge
amount of Money Valued USD35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five
Million Dollars only)that belongs to one of our late
Customer who died in a plane crash .During our
investigation and auditing in this bank, my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to
Late 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
The fund has been dormant in his account With this
Bank without any claim of the funds in our custody
either from his family or relation before our
discovery of this development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money
remains unclaimed for five years, it will be forfeited
to the Bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.It is only a
foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is
upon this discovery that I decided to contact you to
collaborate with you to pull out this dormant fund. In
order to avert this negative development, I on behalf
of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to
have you stand in as next of kin to Our late Customer
so that the fund will be released and paid into your
account as the beneficiary´s next of kin now that the
bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of
the deceased ,Late Mr. Morris Thompson.
In fact we could have done this deal alone but because
of our position in this country as civil servants, we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and that
would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during
the time of transfer since we still work in this bank,
this is the actual reason why we required a second
party or fellow who will assist us forward claims as
the next of kin and also provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately
to receive this fund, even an empty a/c can also serve
for this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 40% as gratification for your assisting
us, and the remaining 60% will be for me and my
partners.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased
next of kin. I have in my possession, all the
necessary Documents to successfully accomplish the
operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100%
risk free.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I
receive your positive response. I suggest you get back
to me as soon as possible stating your wish. Find in
the attachment of my Family Picture, to proof who I
am.
I await your Urgent Responce,
Regrads,
Mr.Henry Okoye
