Dear VICTIMNAME,
I am a staff of Natwest Bank London. 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 £26.5million British Pounds
Sterling (Twenty Six. five million 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.

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 me and my colleagues. 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 and trust is our watchword in this transaction.Note this
transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail
you should contact me by return mail. Please note that all necessary
arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been
finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response.Do
call me and lets discuss more on this. +447031906506
Best regards
Fehmi Mehmet.
