Subject: GET BACK TO ME
Dear Friend,
I am Smart Johnson,I am the Auditing and accounting Manager of Union bank here in Nigeria. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in Kumasi who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $23,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 7 years.
From my investigation today, I have found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, 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 can read more news about the crash on visiting this site which I got during my investigation http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
The account is in dormat account in my bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary.
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson, meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me, since you have the same last name with late Mr. Morris Thompson,
As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to us. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
For your intrest to do this business with me,please forword to me as Follows:
Name, .
