Dear,
I am a staff of National Westminster Bank,London.I got your
contact while conducting a research over the internet.I
am writing following an oppurtunity that will benefit us.In
my department we discovered an abandoned sum of twenty six
million,five hundred thousand British pounds in an account
belonging to one of our foreign customers Late Mr.Morris
Thompson,an American who died with his wife and only
daughter in the Alaska Airlines,flight 261 that crashed on
31st January,2000.
We have expected his next of kin/beneficiary to claim his
money,but nobody has come.And from the banking
guidelines,the fund cannot be released unless somebody
applies as next of kin/beneficiary to the deceased.I learnt
through his attorney(who also is involved in this
transaction)that his supposed next of kin his only daughter
died with them in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund and possible claiming.
It is on this discovery that two other officials of the
bank,his attorney and I decided to make business with
you;which is to release the money to you as the next of
kin/beneficiary of the funds.We will not want the fund to go
back to Government treasury as unclaimed fund as nobody has
come for the money.The banking law and guidelines here
stipulates that such money if unclaimed after five years
will be returned to the banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
We agreed that twenty percent of the money will go to you as
our foreign partner while seventy percent will be for my
colleagues and I,the remaining ten percent goes to charity
organisations.I shall visit your country for disbursement
immediately the money gets into your account.This
transaction is confidential and risk free.If you are willing
to work with us please reply.Immediately I get your
consent,I shall initiate the processing of the transfer and
in some days the money will be in your nominated bank
account.This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without
any problem as every modality for smooth and successful
transfer has been taken care of.
We shall discuss in details when I get your consent.

Thank you
david
