Subject: New Mail From.............
Dear Friend
Having searched and seen your details from the web
highlighting your personal details in a very glowing
terms, I write to introduce myself and the aim of this
mail to you, though that we have not met before, but i
believe that opportunity of meeting with one another
starts from one day.
My name is Eric Tenner , from Kensal Green here in
London, and i work for Nat West Bank . my reason of
contacting you is to introduce an opportunity that
arose from my office which needed an URGENT ATTENTION,
and which i also believed that would bring in a great
benefit to both of us.
We have discovered an abandon sum of money to the
tune of $10.5 million USD that belongs to one of
our very interesting LATE FOREIGN CUSTOMER named
Morris Thompson, who unfortunately lost his life and
that of his entire family of 3 in the Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2003.
My other reason of contacting you is due to the
geographical nature of where you live and the overall
confidentiality herein. Now ever this man died our
bank has been looking for any known relatives to come
forward and claim the left over fund in his account,
as the documented known NEXT OF KIN of his was his
late wife PAULLETE who also died in the crash without
any success, and i have personally searched for over 3
years now without success, and our bank has given an
ultimatum to forward a NEXT OF KIN to the deceased or
get his left overs confiscated by giving it to the
charity organizations or orphanage homes, hence this my
Urgent contact to you now, to please allow me to
present you as a distant cousin of our late client, so
that the left over fund would be paid into an account
that you would be providing, and which we shall be
sharing to a percentage that we shall be agreed upon.
I shall provide all necessary legal documents that
would backup our claims in your names or a name that
you may provide as far as you have an account in that
name so that this money would be paid into it, all i
need is to fill in your names into the documents so
that our Attorney would legalize those details of
yours in a probate court so as to stand you out as the
legitimate beneficiary to whom this sum of money is
legally allowed to be paid into its account.
All i require from you now URGENTLY is the following
Your Names
Telephone Numbers including mobile and your Contact
address.An urgent response to this mail, so that i shall
intimate you on the next line of action, as we intend
to conclude the transaction within 5 working days.
You can send your response to my alternative
email address:(mretenner1@yahoo.co.uk)
Best Regards
Eric Tenner
