Subject: KINDLY RESPOND.
Hello Friend,
How are you doing? I hope this mail meet you in good condition. I am John Tse, Bank Manager of Dah Sing Bank, 19 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
One of our clients/personal friend, Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who was a private business man 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,
1. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
2. http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Before the plane crash, Mr. Morris Thompson made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months with a value of US$26,000,000.00 (Twenty Six Million United
State Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We 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? 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 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.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple; I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 80% for me and 20% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply through my private email address:
jtse_1960@yahoo.com.hk
Thanks and regards.
John Tse
