Greetings,
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner and I
want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax mail But I respectfully
insist you read this mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open door for
unimaginable financial reward for both of us.
This business transaction might not fall within the wide spectrum of your
business activities, but I plead your assistance, as your flair for
profitable business is needed.
Permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr. George Alonge, Manager Access Bank
Plc, I am writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to
carry out this business opportunity in my department.
Every five years, our banks transfer to its treasury millions of dollars of
dormant depositor’s funds in compliance with the banking laws and
guidelines, in majority of cases with reference to my bank Access bank Plc
Lagos, the money normally runs into several millions of dollars.
A foreigner, Late Engr. Morris Thompson, an Oil Merchant/Contractor in My
country, until his death three years ago in a ghastly air crash has a
closing balance of US9, 500,000.00(Nine Million,Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars) Ever since his death and up till this time of writing no
next-of-kin or relative of his has come forward to claim his money with us.
Fervent valuable efforts have been made by Access Bank to get in touch with
any of the Thompson's family or relatives but proved to no avail.
Naturally, as long as Thompson's money remains here, the bank remains richer
in free funds with his money.
However, with my position, I can present you to claim the fund as a
relative/next of kin if you agree with me. The request for you as
Relative/next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and an Indigene cannot stand as Relative to a
foreigner, I plead for your assistance with the intention of getting this un
claimed money amounting to US9, 500,000.00 (Nine Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars Only) transferred into a company/private bank account that
you will present.
You stand to gain a negotiable percentage of the fund if you agree to help
me actualize this opportunity, I will not contact any other company or
person until I am convinced that you are not interested in this proposal.
Contact me immediately indicating your willingness and also give your direct
and confidential fax and phone numbers for the effective communication that
this transaction requires.
I will furnish you with the procedure and also enlighten you on how the
funds will be disbursed and shared on receipt of your response.
I will also require your advice in the areas of investment as I plan to
establish a business venture with you in your country with my share.
PLEASE CONTACT ME ONLY THROUGH MY DIRECT EMAIL: alongeo@i12.com IMMEDIATELY

Mr. George Alonge.
