Mr.Paul FreemanAuditor General ofIndependent Financial Services (UK) Ltd .129 Wychall Rd NorthfieldBirmingham B31 3APcompliment of the day.In sending you this letter, I am fully aware that you can be of help in the this transaction with utmost trust and sincerelity. The details of my proposal are as follows.I work as a private independent financial adviser in Birmingham by name Independent Financial Services (UK) Ltd. Some years ago I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin, Germany where i met a U.S based business man, 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.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.htmlWe discussed about his intentions to invest in United kingdom. Then some months later we met again in London, where I assisted him, to make a Deposit of £20.5million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty million five hundred thousand British Pounds) in a Bank in London for onward investments after six months in 1999 .I had an agreement with him to set an investment portfolio,I was his portfolio manager. 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. 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 Eight 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. Please kindly furnish me with your detail informations:Your name,address and your contact telephone and fax number.Best regardsMr Paul Freeman.
