Subject: urgent reply
From: Jeff Barrat
Greetings from London
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax
mail and I urge you to treat it serious. We want to transfer to overseas account
(£30,000.000 Pounds) Thirty million British Pounds from a prime Bank here in
London. I want to ask you, if you are not capable to quietly look for reliable
and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank
account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an
empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to
me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God
that you will never let me down either now or in future
I am Jeff Barrat, presently promoted to Auditor General in one of the Banks here
in London. During the course of our auditing last week, I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1999 nobody has operated
on this account again, after going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the
money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Neal Walker an American and a great
industrialist and a resident of Alaska State, who unfortunately lost his life
along with his wife in the plane crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian
airline 990 with other passengers on board was an American Oil
consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation. You can
confirm his death from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD NEWS.
WEBSITE.

Since his death nobody has come forward to make claims for the money; because
they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May their soul rest in
peace). No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
the account is a secret account.
The total amount involved is Thirty million British Pounds only [£30,000.000.00
Pounds] and we wish to transfer this money into safe foreigners account abroad.
But I don't know any foreigner; I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money cannot be approved to a local person here, but to a foreigner who has
information about the account, which I shall give to you upon your positive
response. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let
me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am
contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you
the next step to take urgently. I need your strong assurance that you will never
let us down, me and a key bank official who
is deeply involved with me in this business.
I awaits for your earliest responce.
Regards.
Jeff Barrat.
