Subject: Hello
Hello ,
I MAKE THIS APPEAL WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY FACTS OR OPINION
EXPRESSED BY ME ARE GIVING IN CONFIDENCE AND SOLELY FOR YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION AND USE.
I am M Henry Ndoye,the manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of my Bank. In my department idiscovered an
abandoned sum of US$14.5M,(Fourteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars) with account number 45-6815-1764 that belongs to one of our foreign
customers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane
crash of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on 31 January, 2000.
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ The owner of this
account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and
a resident of Alaska.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you and for our bank to release the money to you.
You have to follow the instruction which I will send to you as the next of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into our bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after Three years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more than three
years and I am preparing documentaion to prove that this money has been
transfered to our bank treasury. It will be between me and you only that will know
that the money is not transfered into our treasure. The request of foreigner
as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and a Senegalese cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
In appreciation of your assistance, I am offering you 30% of the total
sum. 5% for contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges) likely to be
incurred during the course of transaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the
text of the application which you will complete and forward to our bank asking
for this money to be paid to you as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thomson.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is
hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail
through the above email.
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AT
hendole@myway.com or henole@sify.com
SHOULD YOU CONSIDER MY URGENT REQUEST.
Yours Faithfully,
MR. Henry Ndoye.
