Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Fred Williams, the general auditor of ALPHA BANK LONDON LTD. There
is this floating funds which is to the tune of Eighteen Million United
states dollars (US$18,000,000.00) Which as been floating in this A/C
5005874BS1000 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.
You can read more about the crash on visiting these sites
below.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
I just came across his file again when I was auditing all the credit
account in UNION BANK PLC, 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.
For your information the transfer payment to apply for as the next of kin
should be Eighteen Million dollars (US$18,000,000.00) As soon as you
confirm 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 55% for me, 40% 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 Lagos.
As soon as I receive your reply through my Private email(Also will send you
a copy of my PICTURE, and 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 respond.
Thanks.
MR. FRED WILLIAMS.
Auditor General ALPHA BANK LONDON LTD.
