Subject: FROM WINKLER
I wish to use this medium to reach out to you and at the same time advice you treat this mail in an urgent and confidential manner.
My name is Geoffrey Winkler; i am the personal account officer to one Engineer B.Williams a foreign expatriate with Mobil Petroleum Company here in Netherlands. My client was one of those involved in the Alaska airline flight 261-plane crash that took place February of 2000, which claimed the lives of every passenger on board.
My client had operated an account here with FINANS BANK (Netherlands) valued at 8.5m euros. Since after the death of my client i have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim this funds here in the custody of the bank, but surprisingly no next of kin have made any such claims regarding this funds and as the situation stands this account have remained dormant and unclaimed.
Having not heard from any next of kin to my deceased client i tried to make contact through the information’s i have but i did not get any response, this prompted me to have made several enquiries to possibly contacting the next of kin but it led me to discover that his supposed next of kin were among those in the plane crash leaving nobody for the claims.
The truth of the matter is that the bank directors in their last board meeting resolved to divert these funds into the banks treasury as unclaimed funds within the next (21) official working days citing grounds on the dormanancy of this account over the last five years which is contrary to the stipulated banking regulations.
Having not been able to contact the next of kin considering this situation, i am contacting you as a foreigner which is of my best intention to possibly identifying you to help claim and receive payment of this money here in the custody of the bank presenting as the next of kin for safe keeping and for future investment before the funds is diverted into the bank treasury as unclaimed funds.
I will be counting on your reputation as being reliable for this transaction, as you can be rest assured of the full representation of your interest here as will be required to have this money released and paid to you.This transaction is 100% risk free and is in no way associated with money laundering, so on gaining your interest to proceed as will be required to receive payment of this money then we can further discuss on the modalities for disbursing of the money.
I anticipate your kind and prompt response with your telephone numbers with best time to reach you and your full names and contact address to enable me highlight you further.

Geoffrey Winkler.
