Subject: Foreign Partner
Mr. Martin Langa
Head of Operations,
A D S Ltd.
Dublin, Ireland.
Good Day,
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 deposits that belongs to one of our foreign customer 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 website.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim this assets because the company management cannot release the assets unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our company 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 behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one other officials in this department now decided to do business with you and release the assets/deposit to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don?t want this money to go into Government/company treasury as unclaimed bill.
Bear in mind that no risk is attached to this project and all logistic are in place and modalities work out for the smooth conclusion within a stipulated time. This is in accordance with the fact that you must never betray the trust already reposed on you.
We have decided to compensate you with 30% of the total sum as foreign partner, 60% for us, while 10% for miscellaneous expenses (Local and International).Please provide your confidential phone and fax number to enable me contact you for further discussion on this matter. Also, advise in your response if any time is confidential enough to call you.
Looking forward to your urgent response via my Tel/Fax or e-mail address above.
Best Regards,
Mr. Martin Langa
