Subject: can i trust you ?
From: Mr kelly Davies
Natwest Bank,
National Westminster House/Alfred St,
Oxford, OX1 4EB
United Kingdom.
I am a member of staff of Natwest Bank here in the United Kingdom.I am
writing following an oppurtunity in my office that will be of imense
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 relatves 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 ballance 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 mailwhether 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<br>trusted in this regard.
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 Through my private email address:
Best regards
God Bless you
Waiting to hearing From You.
