Dear Sir/Madam,
It is my pleasure to write this letter to you. First, I must

of it being utterly confidential.
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your
personal ethics.
I am Mr. Roberto Resines, the general auditor of a reputable
bank in Spain.There is this floating funds which is to the
tune of Eighteen
Million Euros (€18,000,000.00 Euros in cash deposit) Which
as been floating in this a deposite since 2000 after the death
of the true owner of the funds 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.At first I will like to assure you that this
transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties.

I just came across his file again when I was auditing all the
credit account, and I found out that nobody as ever come on
behalf of the Late Mr. Morris Thompson as his next of kin to
claim the funds.
And I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this
information.
In this case I have concluded to contact you if you are reliable
to execute this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on
how to claim as the next of kin to the late Mr.Morris thompson,
so that the funds could be transfer to your overseas A/C, if
only you can co-operate with me and not to betray me at the end.
Thank you for your interest and co-operation i will give you the
guide lines on how you can transact with the bank for the
approval of the funds to your A/C.
As soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer I
will apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to
your country for my share of the funds and the sharing of the
funds is 65% for me, 30% for you and the remaining 5% will be
for expenses incurred during the transaction.
As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all
documents that will lead to the trace of this transfer and go
back to my country because i have work all my Life in Spain.
As soon as I receive your reply through my Private email I will
advise you on how to go about the transaction as well as to send
you an agreement letter that will bind the both of us together
in case of any future misunderstanding when sharing the funds.
I await your soonest response.
