Subject: THE PURPOSE OF MAILING YOU
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister. Steven Joe, lawyer to late Mr.
Morris Thompson who lost his life in plane crash involving
Alaska Airline's Flight 261, which crashed on January
31st.2000, including his wife and only daughter. Mr. Morris
Thompson aged 61 hailed from Fairbanks, Alaska in United
States of America. He was one of the states's most
prominent native and business leader. All these you are
very free to verify from the we blink below for more
information and clarification about his socio-economic
status until his death;
<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/>
and
<http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html>
Before the demise of my client, he disclosed to me
his account status, which amounted to £40.5million British
Pounds Sterling (Forty million five hundred thousand
British Pounds). He also handed over to me some vital
copies of documents regarding this fund already trapped at
a Bank in west London, England.
I was at the last burial rights on February,5th,2000 to pay
my final respect to Late Mr.MorrisThompson.There I made
thorough inquiries about his relatives but,discovered no
one relay knows about this fund currently sited at the bank .Since then, I have made successive attempts to
get his next of kin or relative to come forth and claim
this fund but to no avail. As personal lawyer to my late
client, I cannot in any way claim it unless someone
overseas does so. Just two weeks ago, I received a routine
notification from the Bank in concerning this
fund, and the officials of this bank issued a warning,
stressing the urgency for late Mr. Morris Thompson's
relative or next of kin to come forward to claim this fund
immediately or they will have it confiscated and forwarded
to the nation's treasury account as an unclaimed fund. This
is the agreement they have reached at the bank and they
also reiterated that this is according to their banking
guidelines.
MY REQUEST;
Owing to the fact that his daughter whom should have stand
a better chance of claiming this fund, also perished in
that fatal air crash,I want you to stand in as the next of
kin to late Mr. Morris Thompson.Like I earlier asserted,I
have in my possession the necessary documents that will
enable me to place you in,as the right beneficiary to my
late client's fund in this bank.Be informed that upon
successful transfer of this money into your account,you
shall have 35% of it as your share. I must remind you that
trust and transparency must be our watchword in the course
of this transaction.
email:chamber1@myway.com.
I will discuss with you in details when I receive your response.
Please include the following in your reply.
(1.)Your Name in full.
(2.)A reliable phone and Fax number
(3.)Occupation
