Mr.James White
Auditor General of
Natwest Bank Group
UK.
Dear Sir/madam
I am Mr.James White Auditor General of Natwest Bank
Group UK. Natwest Bank London. I am writing
following an opportunity in my office that will be
of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum
of£20.5million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty
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 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You
shall read more about the crash on visiting this
site.

st/ and
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 six 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.
Please if you are interested in this project
contact me for further directives.
Best regards
Mr.James White
