Dear Sir/ Madam,

imense benefit to both of us.
Greetings,
Firstly,We must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. We are
aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship,Pardon us for the mode that we have chosen to contact you via
your email, inappropriate maybe,but prompted by utmost need and urgency.Be
informed that this is a sensitive proposition for assistance that must be
kept between the two of us in confidence.
In my department an abandoned sum of £20.5million British Pounds Sterling
(Twenty million five hundred thousandBritish 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 site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin or relatves to come over and claim his moneybecause we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately 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 that I and two other officials in
this department now decided to make 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.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 35% 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.

this mail you should contact me by return mail.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release
of these funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in
details when I do receive your response.
Please if you are interested in this project contact me for further
directives.
Best regards
Mr Paul Rich
