Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Frank Owode,a staff of Fidelity Bank Plc.I am writing
you following an oppurtunity in my office that will be of immense
benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD5million
(Five Million United States Dollars) 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 Thelma, and his only daughter Sheryl, while returning from a
vacation in Mexico. 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 the information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin or relatives 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 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 now decided to make business with you and
release the money to you as the beneficiary of the funds for safety
keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and
i don’t want this money to go back into Government treasury as
unclaimed bill.
You will be entitled to 30% of this money as foreign partner,
while 70% will be for me. 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. Please note,that this business
is 100% safe and risk free and i hope that the fund arrives your
account in latest 10 working days from the date of the receipt of
the following information:
1. Your full name and address
2. Date of birth(Age)
3. Occupation
4. Private Telephone numbers for easy communication.
The above information will enable me to apply for payment into your
account. I am looking forward to doing business with you.Please
kindly reply to my private email address for confidential reason :
frankowode@asiamail.com
Trusting to hear from you soonest.
Best regards
Mr.Frank Owode.
