PRIVATE AND URGENT.
Please do not be offended if I have invaded your privacy. I am MR.
MARIO JORGE CATZIN, and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge
sum
of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided
to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION.
I am the account officer to Mr. Morris Thompson (deceased) one of our
foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw his accounts
and other official/financial obligations as my office demanded being
his accounts officer. Unfortunately, he died in
plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which
crashed on January 312000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall
read more aboutit on visiting this website below for verification.

While he was alive, none of his family members was ever known to me
other than his immediate nuclear family. Since his death, none of his
next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money
as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Having made a very franatic and exhaustive search for any family
member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take my chance
with you. I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin
to the deceased as I have all documentations including his certified
Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to
him as he had a closing balance of 5,500,000.00 (five million, five
hundred thousand euros ) here in our bank in Spain. I also
have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
member of deceased family to become beneficiary of this fund.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our
mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following, vial
reply to my private E-mail: fernadez@myself.com
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments
and file your name in form (A) and other vital forms as next of kin
which before now was left blank by the deceased upon opening of the
account six years ago. Upon your reply, I will advice the way
forward. I must assure you that if you are serious and follow my lead
religiously, then this funds will be released to you within a
seven-working-day period.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of
the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail.
Please reply to my private E-mail:fernadez@myself.com
Regards,
Mr. Mario Catzin
