Subject: GREETINGS FROM SPAIN
Dear friend,
My name is Dr.Jose Marthins, the Head of Treasury Department with the Banco Santander Central Hispano Madrid-Spain. (ESP).It is with belief and trust that my colleague and I are contacting you with the aim of seeking your consent/authority to officially present you to my bank as the assumed Next of Kin/relative to our late customer, Mr. Morris Thompson who died few years ago (January 31, 2000) along with his entire family in a plane crash on board Alaska Airlines
Flight 261, alongside other 87 passengers.
Please view the website for more information of this incident:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html.
However, this was a sad news to the hearing of any human being and since then my bank has made several enquiries to your Embassy here to locate any family members or extended relatives of our late customer,but all efforts proved abortive.
And after these several unsuccessful attempts, my colleague who is the Personal Account Officer (PAO)and I decided to trace his relatives via the Internet with the use of his last name and yet, there is no such trace and that is where and how we came across your information. Hence, our decision to contact you based on your reputation as ascertain from your profile via the Internet.
The late Mr. Morris Thompson has many landed properties here and he made a fixed deposit of
US$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) with our bank before his untimely death and unfortunately, he has no other person nominated as his Next of Kin to our bank, apart from his wife who died in the same incident; and in the case of transaction of this nature, a final notice of fourteen (14) bank working days is announced for the claim of the fund either by the deceassed Next of Kin or Trustee and if after this notice, nobody come
forward for the claim, the said fund will be reverted to the government account/treasury as unclaimed fund in accordance to the laws of the espanol as enshrine in the 1979 constitution.
The fourteen (14) days final notice expired as at Friday (14/10/05) and yet, nobody come forward for the claim of this said fund and we have also been unsuccessful in locating any his family members for over four (4) years now, hence our decision to seek your consent to present you as the assumed Next of Kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson to enable us claim this fund on your name based on the paper works that will be perfected/secured by an attorney, most importantly to avoid this fund from being reverted to the government account.
This said fund will be claimed on your name and transferred to your bank account for safekeeping and sharing between us based on the following sharing modalities, which we have considerably drawn, 40% as your compensation for whatever assistance/role you will play in this regard, 55% for us and the remaining 5% has been mapped out for settlement of any expenses that we may likely incurred in the pursuit of this claim, including taxes that maybe required by your government upon the transfer to your bank account.
We shall hire the services of an attorney who will secure all the necessary legal papers from the
concerned authorities for your declaration as the rightful Next of Kin. The attorney shall play a role of your local representative since we will not be directly involved or monitor the transaction forsecurity reasons; and what we need is your honest/trust and maximum co-operation to enable us achieve this goal. We assure you that this transaction shall be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get back to us via my private email address as stated:(drjosemartins_bsc@yahoo.es)upon the receipt of this mail and do not hesitate to ask your questions where it is necessary for further clarifications.
Kindest regards,
DR.JOSE MARTINS
