From The Desk of:
Mr. Terry Daniels,
Senior Audit Officer, Halifax Bank Plc,
Trinity Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire HX1 2RG, England, United Kingdom.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Terry Daniels, Senior Audit officer of the Halifax Plc, West
Yorkshire, England. 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 £26.400.000.00 (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred thousand
British Pounds Sterling) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers, Late Mr. Thomas Stockley 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, Peggy Stockley. 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 relatives to come over and lay claims to 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 these funds behind for
the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other
officials in my department now decided to make business with you and release
the money to your possession as the beneficiary of the funds for safety
keeping and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is laying claims to 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 eight (8) years will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
funds. We agreed that 40% of this money would be for you as gratification
for assistance rendered, while the balance will be for my colleagues and me.
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 as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Our assurance is
that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the legality it
deserves as with all modalities put in place we are certain in actualizing a
hitch free transfer of the funds without any complications. Kindly signify
your intention to assist by sending me an email for further procedures
relating to this transaction.
Note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to
you has been finalized. We will discuss much in details when I do receive
your response. If you are interested in this project, please contact me as a
matter of urgency for further directives.
Best regards,
Terry Daniels.
