MR.JACOB NNUKA
Absa Bank of South Africa.
Attention:SIR/MADAM,
I am a staff of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA) . I am writing following
an oppurtunity in my office that will be of imense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of £5.2million British
Pounds Sterling (Five million Two hundred thousand British Pounds) 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 and only daughter. You
shall read more about the crash on visiting this site which I got during
my investigation; http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or relatves 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 and
two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you
and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds
for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and we don?t want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed
bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after
five years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for my colleagues and I. 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.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive
this mail you should contact me through my e-mail address
kevinsonedward2005@yahoo.com
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you as has been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do receive
your response.
Best regards
MR.JACOB NNUKA
