well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim
of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he
did not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as
these.Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself.

private search for reliable person who can assist me actualise this deal.

Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect
this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money
will be transferred into your account.I need your assistance and co-operation
to get this deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position
to be presented through documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the
deceased is also a foreigner,this is the reason why I could not do this
deal alone as a Nigerian and a staff of the bank as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On
smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
65% will be for my investment.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as I am still in
service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with
you. And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than 10 working
days and you confirm the money in your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account. And ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment,either in your country.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish
in this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you
