Subject: Your Inheritance Fund.
cFrom Dr. George Wilcox,
The Manager Credit and Foriegn Bills
First Inland Bank Plc.
Victoris Island
Lagos-Nigeria.
Attention: Sir/Madam,
My name is Dr. George Wilcox, the Manager, Credit and
Foreign bills of First Inland 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 2000,
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 has
watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all
has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of
US$15.5M (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thoudsand 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 be
the 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 through a trade journal
when i was making a research on a foreigner i will use in
this great opportunity. For your assistant i will give you
30% of the total amount then 10% has been maped out to
donate to the motherless baby home, while the remaining 60%
will be for me and my partner. Upon the receipt of your
response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the letter of
application which you will type sign and send back to our
bank to enable us start this transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business
is hitch free and that 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 completed
within five banking days of recieving your response, after
you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.When
you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying
your decision including the following information's for
quick communication.
1.Your Full Name
2.Your Home And Company Address
3.Your Telephone And Fax Numbers
4.Your Age/Occupation.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. George Wilcox.
