Subject: Good Day to you
Good Day to you,
I am Mr Jay Goldman the Chief cook of Late Mr.Morris Thompson .I am
writing following a discovery i made after the death of my master in his
safe box that will be of imense benefit to both of us.In the safe box i
discovered a certificate of deposit for the sum of $7.5million united
states dollars (seven million five hundred thousand united state
dollars) deposited in a security company in Europe my Late master Mr. Morris
Thompson an American who
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 shall read more about the crash on visiting this website.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.h tml
Since his death, I have been expecting his next of kin or relatves to
come over and claim his money because the Security Company cannot
release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in Security company policy.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I decided to contact you to apply for the claims of the
fund with the Security Company for the release of the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and
subsequent disbursement since althoughy i do not
know you nor have seen or met you in my life as nobody is coming for it
and i don't want this money to go back into Security Company's treasury
as unclaimed bill.
I agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as partner,while the
ballance will be for me . I will visit your country for the disbursement
according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into
your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this
transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you
receive this mail you should contact me by return mail whether or not you
are willing to enter into this deal. In the event you are not
interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one about
it. I am very careful about my future as a Stewardship career should
you mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in this
regard.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you shall be handled by a legal practioneer.I will discuss
much in details when I do receive your response or you can call the
attorney via his direct telephone number:{ 44704010112 Barr.Benson
Bristol}or email address:bristolchambers@indiatimes.com.
Please in your response include your telephone number and fax number
for a better communication between us.
Please reach me at my alternative email:{jaygoldman@myway.com}
Best regards.
Mr Jay Goldman
