Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE IN TRANSACTION
FROM THE DESK OF JAMES CAMPBELL
UNITED KINGDOM.
URGENT ASSISTANCE IN TRANSACTION
I am the manager at the auditing and accounting
department of one of the commercial banks here in
United Kingdom. In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of US$33.5m dollars ( US dollars) in an
account belonging to one of our foreign customer
Andreas Schranner.Who died along with his entire
family on Monday,31 July,2000 in a plane crash in
Paris.Please visit this site that is one of the
evidence the directors brought in other to swallow the
money at the end of the day,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his
money because we cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking laws but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of
kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to
make this business proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after five years, the
money will be transfered into the bank treasury as
unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of
kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that
the customer was a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this
money will be for you as a respect to the provision of
a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the business and 60% would be for me
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to your desiggnited bank account ,you must apply
first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the
deceased with a text of application that i will send
to you,so i will like you to send to me your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be
remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax
or email the text of the application . I will not fail
to bring to your notice this transaction is hitch-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as
all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as
you receive this letter via my private email address.

Regards,
Yours Faithfully,
James Campbell.
