a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I write
you this proposal in good faith, Believing that i can trust you with the

benefit both of us, as your assistance is required .
I discovered an A/C number 5005874BS1000 with total sum of $15,500,000.00
million that has not been operated on for the past four years. From my
investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Morris

life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January
31st 2000, including his wife and only daughter.

I just came across his file again when I was auditing all the credit account,
and I find 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, and if you are reliable to
execute this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on how to claim
these funds as the next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson,so that the
funds can be transfer from the A/C, if only you can co-operate with me and not
to betray me at the end when the transfer of the funds has been made.
As the General Auditor Of CORPORATE PRAVATE BANKING, I have the power to
influence the release of the funds to you as the next of kin to the account,
with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
There is practically no risk involved, The transaction will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. And
the sharing of the funds is 65% for me, 30% for you and the remaining 5% will
be for expenses
incurred during the transaction.
As soon as I receive your reply through my Private
email:(jamesgonza@katamail.com) with your contacts including your direct
telephone numbers and fax numbers, i will also send you a copy of my
international passport, and advise you on how to go about the transaction.
I await your soonest respond.
