Dear Friend,
Please do not be embarrassed, let me first of all introduce my very self. My name is Dr. Simon West,the younger brother to Taribu West, a world football from Nigeria, l am Accountant with Diamond Bank Plc,Lagos-Nigeria.
l write in respect of a foreign customer with A/C Number: 14-2558-2004,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 leaving him with no immediate family or close relatives. For more verification You shall read more news about the crash onvisiting this
site;href="http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
The owner of this account Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist, who died on the Alaska Airline with his family.Since the death of this our customer, Mr. Morris Thompson, I have kept a close monitoring of the deposit records and accounts since then. Nobody has come forward to claim his fund with this A/C Number: 14-2558-2004 as beneficiary to the late Mr. Morris Thompson.
The total amount in the said account is US$5,2million and it is a domiciliary escrow bank account. It is only an insider, the account owner or a next of kin who has information about the account that could produce the Code or password of the deposit particulars. The funds can only be released to a foreigner, as you know it will authenticate your claim of heirship. As it stands now, there is nobody in the position to provide the needed information other than my very self, considering my position in the bank. Based on the fact that Mr. Thompson's family perished in the same flight accident, leaving no one to put claim of the deposit as the next of kin, I am seeking for your consent and honest co-operation to present you as the next of kin to late Thompson, and arrange for the release of the funds to your honour for our mutual benefit.
This business will not take more than 10 working days, as long as we get your full co-operation. If you are willing to assist, do write me back via the email stated below indicating so that we may commence as you know that more delays might result in the money returned to the
Treasury of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am willing to share this money with you in the ratio of 70% - 30%. You shall have 30% of the funds I hope this is a fair sharing? I look forward to hearing from you urgently so that we can proceed accordingly.
