Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself I am Barrister
Albert Zuane (Esq.) I
was the Personal Attorney to late Mr. Morris Thompson
an American who was a private businessman
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 below,

Before the plane crash, Mr. Morris Thompson made a
numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months with a value of US$
10,500,000.00 (TEN
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS)
in a Security company here in South Africa.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, another
notification was
sent and still no response came from him. I later
found out that Mr. Morris Thompson and his family had
been killed in that plane crash. After
further investigation it was also discovered that Mr.
Morris Thompson's
next of kin is his daughter who died with him.
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of
my country at the expiration 6 years the funds will
revert to the ownership of the
SOUTH AFRICA GOVERNMENT, if nobody applies to claim
the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to
you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson so that you
will be able to receive these funds for both of us.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned
out so that we shall come out successfully. I prepare
the necessary document that will
back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson.
PLEASE YOU PROVIDE YOUR FULL INFORMATION SUCH AS
STATED BELOW,
[1] NAME: ________________________________
[2] ADDRESS: ____________________________
[3] AGE: _________________________________
[4] SEX: _________________________________
[5] TELEPHONE: __________________________
[6] FAX: _________________________________
[7] OCCUPATION STATUS: __________________
Also be informed that this Transaction will take us
just 15 working
days to accomplish beginning from when I receive your
Data's.
After you have been made the next of kin, I will also
file an
application to the security company on your behalf as
soon as I secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the movement of the funds to
an account that will be provided by you.
This process is 100% risk free as I have set out all
the modalities to
see that a legalized method is used because I will
prepare all the necessary documents. Please note that
utmost secrecy and
confidentiality is required at all times during this
transaction. Once the funds have been transferred into
your nominated bank account we shall share in the
ratio of 55% for me, 40% for you and 5% set aside for
any incidental expenses incurred during this
transaction. If you are not interested, please delete
this letter so that I can scout for another competent
partner to conclude this transaction. Should you be
