There is this floating funds which is to the  tune of  Eighteen Million Euros (18,000,000.00 Euros) Which as been floating in   this A/C nº 5005874BS1000 since 2000 after the death of the true owner  of  the funds Late Mr. Morris Thompson, an American who was a private  business  man unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines   Flight  261 which crashed on January 31st 2000, including his wife and only   daughter.

You can read more about the crash on visiting these sites

I just came across his file again when I was auditing all the credit  account  in CAJA NORTHE DE ANDALUCIA, and I found out that nobody as ever come   on  behalf of the Late Mr. Morris Thompson as his next of kin to claim the funds.

And I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this information. In this case I have concluded to contact you if you are reliable to   execute this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on how to claim as  the  next of kin to the late Mr. Morris thompson,so that the funds could be  transfer to your ove rseas A/C, if only you can co-operate with me and  not to  betray me at the end.

For your information the transfer payment to apply for as the next  of kin should be Seven Million Euros (7,000,000.00 Euros) As soon as  you  confirm your interest and co-operation I will give you the guide lines on how  you  can transact with the bank for the approval of the funds to your A/C.

As soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer I will apply  for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country for my share   of  the funds and the sharing of the funds is 55% for me, 40% for you and  the  remaining 5% will be for expenses incurred during the transaction.

As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all  documents  that will lead to the trace of this transfer and go Back to My Country   Because  i have work all my Life in Spain.

As soon as I receive your reply through my Private email: Also will  send  you a copy of my international passport, and I will advise you on how  to   go about the transaction as well as to send you an agreement letter  that  will  bind the both of us together in case of any future  misunderstanding  when  sharing the funds.

I await your soonest respond.

Thanks.
Mr.David Kvaristo Alonso.Laure.
