Subject: PROPOSAL
Dear sir/ madam,
A bank in UK is about to frozen an account with atotal deposit of
Eighteen Million five hundred thousand United StatesDollars (US$18,500,000.00). The bank account has been idle for overtwo
years running, without maintenance or servicing. Recently it wasdiscovered
by the bank that the owner of this account Mr. WilcoxTripp,was a foreigner and a business manwho lived in UK,but
unfortunately, he was among those that lost their lives in a Spaintrain bombing in
March 2004. He was in Spain for a holiday with hiswife and a son,
when the incident occurred, and they all lost theirlives.
Please copy and paste this Internet link for more information on the
incident

My name is richard morgan (Esq.) and I reside in uk,and my partnerin
this transaction is working with the bank where this fundwas
deposited,and he contacted me recently to inform me about the bankdecision to frozen
the account, after 2years of idleness and nunservicing. He then directed me to search for a foreigner who could bepresented to
the bank as the next of kin to the deceased, to enable usprocess for the release of this fund from
the bank, as an inheritancefund, before it could be confiscated. This is actually why
I contactedyou for the transaction, based on the similarity shared with your nameand the
deceased, which is also the requirement at the bank for suchprocess.
Please note that my partner, was the deceased contact man inthe bank
until his death in 2004.And ever since the deceased passedaway, my partner has been searching
for his relations, which has beenunsuccessful. Currently, the bank wants to freeze the account
and seizethe funds. To stop this act, my partner quickly contacted me
to searchfor a foreigner through the internet, whom we could use as the nextof
kin to the deceased to claim the deposited fund, before it is
lostto the bank in next couple of days.
Through the help of my partner,who is an insider in the bank, we have
been able to secure all thenecessary legal documents required to back you up forthis
transaction.I can guarantee you that this will be executed undera legitimate
arrangement that would protect you from any breach of thelaw. We have also decided that after the release of the fund to
you bythe bank, that 20% of the total fund would be donated to the lessprivileged
organizations, and 20% goes to you for your contribution,while 60% would be shared between my partner and
myself. Pleaseindicate your interest urgently via email to;richardmorganson79@yahoo.com or richardmorganson@yahoo.com
Best regards,
Richard morgan
