Subject: attention needed
Attention: Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr, Micheal Hengz, the Manager Credit and Foreign bills of
Regent Bank Plc. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our
bank with account number 14-255-114 whose name is Late Mr. Morris
Thompson, an american by citizen who perished in a plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2002, including
his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on
visiting this site which I got during my investigation,
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ Since the demise
of this our customer, I personally have watched with keen interest to
see his next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds of $15.5M (Fiftheen Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very long
time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used
as the Next of Kin as no one has come up to claim of being his next of
kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more
than Ten Years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact when I was making a research on a
foreigner I will use in this great opportunity. For your assistance I
will give you 30% of the total amount then 10% has been maped out for
any expences that may occur, while the remaining 60% will be for me and
my partner. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by
e-mail the letter of application which you will type sign and send back
to our accredited attorney to the bank who will work on your behalf to
enable us start this transaction. You should not entertain any fear as
all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been
finalized, this transaction will be complited within ten banking
working days of recieving your response, after you apply to the bank as
a relation to the deceased. When you receieve this letter. Kindly send
me an e-mail signifying your decision including your private Tel/Fax
numbers for quick communication. I await your positive response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Micheal Hengz,
Manager Credit and Foriegn Bills,
Regent Bank Plc.
