Senior Audit Officer
Natwest Bank Group
UK.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Charles Greene Senior Audit Officer of Natwest Bank Group UK.
Natwest Bank London. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that
will be of immense benefit to both of us.In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of£20.5million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty million five
hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers Late Mr.Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately
lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed
on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read
more about the crash on visiting this site.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because we cannot
release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter
died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of
this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with
you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the
funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and we don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country for
the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this
money gets into your account.Please be honest to me and trust is our
watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free.As soon as you receive
this mail you should contact me by return mail.Please note that all
necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been
finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response.
Please if you are interested in this project contact me for further
directives.
Best regards
Mr Charles Greene
