Subject: BUSINESS TRANSACTION
FROM THE DESK OF:MR.BRIAN CAPON
NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK,
LONDON,
UNITED KINDOM.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Brian Capon the system and control director at the
NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK.I am writing this letter to
solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this
business opportunity in my bank.
Lying in an inactive account is the sum of 11milion pounds
sterling belonging to a foreign customer (Michael Gambone)
who was a gas consultant here in UK,who happens to be
deceased during a business trip. He died with his wife
(Deborah Gambone) on board the Swissair Flight 111 ,
which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in
september 2nd 1998.
The news of this crash was on the news which we have
notified hisrelatives to no avail. See links below for
more detail informaion:

Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of
kin to come and claim these fund. To this effect, we can
not release the money unless someone applies for it as
next of kin, as indicated in our banking guideline.
Unfortunately he has no family member in UK or Over-sea
who are aware of theexistence of the money(as he was a gas
consultant.
At this juncture i have decided to do business with you.To
this effect I solicit your assistance in applying as the
next of kin to the bank then the money will be released to
you,as I do not want this money to go into the bank treasury
as an unclaimed bill,because the banking law and guideline
stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed for a period
of up to eight years(8yrs),the money will be transferred into the
banks treasury as an unclaimed bill.
My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a British
cannot stand as next of kin.
40% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner
and your assistance to actualise this business,5% for any
expenses incured. Thereafter i will visit your country with
your help once the money hits your account for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated.
To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as
agreed,you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin
to the deceased,then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction.
Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you, the text
of the application you are to send to the bank,and further
clearify you in other issues as to
affect this business.
Awaiting to hear from you urgently.
Best Regards
Mr.Brian Capon.
