Subject: lets do this
Dear Sir,
My name is Michael Clarke, Head of Private/Investment Banking Division of
the Natwest Bank London, 48 Brook Str, Raunds, Northants, NN9 6LP, U.K. Our
Private Banking client late Mr.Morris Thompson an American who lost his life
in a plane crash involving Alaska Airline's Flight 261 which crashed on
January 31st.2000, including his wife and only daughter. Mr Morris
Thompson,aged 61 hailed from Fairbanks, Alaska in United States of America.
He was one of the states's most prominent native and business leader. All
these you are very free to verify from the web link below for more
information and clarification about his socio-economic status until his
death;

Before the demise of my client,he disclosed to me his account status which
is about £40.5million British Pounds Sterling (Fourty million five hundred
thousand British Pounds Sterling).He also handed over to me some vital
documents regarding this fund trapped now at Natwest Bank London,England. I
was at the last burial rights on February,5th,2000 to pay my final respect
to Late Mr.Morris Thompson.There I made thorough inquiries about his kins as
his account officer but discovered no one really knows about this fund
currently sited at Natwest bank London.Since then, I have made successive
attempts to get his next of kin or relative to come forth and claim this
fund but to no avail.And as the account officer to my late client, I cannot
in any way claim it unless someone overseas does so. I must not hesitate to
inform you that just a forth night ago, I received a routine notification
from Natwest Bank London concerning this fund, and the officials of this
bank issued me a warning, stressing the urgency for late Mr.Morris
Thompson's relative or next of kin to come forward to claim this fund
immediately or they will have it confiscated and forwarded to the nation's
treasury account as an unclaimed fund.This is the agreement they have
reached at the bank and they also reiterated that this is according to their
banking guidelines. MY PROPOSAL; Owing to the fact that his only daughter
whom should have claimed this fund,also perished in that fatal air crash,I
want to place you as the next of kin to late Mr. Morris Thompson.Like I
earlier stated,I have in my possession the necessary documents that will
enable me to apply on your behalf as the right beneficiary to my late
client's fund in this bank.Be informed that upon successful transfer of this
money into your account,you shall have 25% of it as your share.I must also
remind you that honesty and trust, transparency must be our watchword in the
course of this transaction. N:B, This transaction is confidential and risk
free. You can only contact me on my email address to :

your response.
