I am a member of staff of Natwest Bank here in the United Kingdom. I am
writing following an opportunity in
my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 10.5million British
Pounds Sterling (Ten million five
hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers Late Mr. Morris
Thompson an American 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. You
shall read more about the crash on
visiting this website.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or relatives to come over
and claim his money because the Bank cannot release the funds unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin
or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
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 and two other officials in this
department now decided to do business with you and release the money to you
as the next of kin or
beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we
don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed
bill.
We agreed that 20% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for me and my
colleagues. 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 on truncating my
banking 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 has been finalized.
We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response to my
private email address private email:
paulfrank606060@myway.com
God Bless you
Waiting to hearing From You.
Dr Paul Frank
