NATIONAL WESTMINSTER BANK
BRISTOL CITY OFFICE
P.O. BOX 238
32 CORN STREET
BRISTOL, BS99 7UG
UNITED KINGDOM
Hello,
My name is Mrs Maria Gibson. I am a staff of Nat West Bank
London I work with the internal audit department.
I am writing to you based on an opportunity that came out
in my office that will be of immense benefit to the both of
us.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of Thirty
five
million five 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 2003, including his wife and
only daughter.
Since we got information about his death, The bank have been
expecting his
next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money
because the bank
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in the bank records.
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.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
In Other not to allow this hard earned money to go back into
Government
treasury as unclaimed bill,I have decided to ask for your
assistance in this
by you, standing in as the next of kin to the deceased man
and ask the bank
to release the money to you as the beneficiary of the funds.
When the money is safely trans fared into your account , I
will visit your
country for the disbursement.I am willing to offer thirty
percent of the
money to you as a reward for your assistance. I will take
sixty percent of
the money and we will collectively donate the remaining ten
percent to the
less privileged in the society.
Please I will want you to be honest with me and trust should
be our
watchword in this transaction.This transaction is
confidential and risk
free.If you are ready to assist me in transaction,Send a
confirmatory mail
to me so that I tell you what next to do.
This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any
problem.
I will give you my complete Details, including phone/ fax
etc and any
further clarifications you may require. We will discuss much
in details when
I do receive your response. Feel Free to ask me any question
were you are
confused about this transaction.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Maria Gibson
London
United Kingdom.
