From: bruckley@mchsi.com (THOMAS BRUCKLEY ESQ.)

Subject: URGENT: Bequest.
Hello: SIR/MADAM
My name is THOMAS JAMES BRUCKLEY Esq, a Senior Executive to the
International Finance Corporation. I am writing in respect of a foreign
Investment portfolio with ID.IFC/EKF1521329BDC35 held at our treasury with
accumulated interest valued at Ten million eight hundred and twenty thousand
dollars($ 10,820,000 USD) owned and serviced by Mr Morris Thompson, an
American citizen, and one of Alaska's native and prominent leaders and
businessmen. He was also a one-time special assistant to the Secretary of
Interior during the Nixon years. Mr Morris Thompson was also a former
president and Chief Executive Officer of Doyon Ltd., a Native corporation
formed in 1971 as part of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The
corporation has 12.5 million acres of land, making it the largest private
landowner in the United States. On the 31st January, 2000, Mr Morris Thompson
was involved in air-plane crash. All occupants of the Alaska Airlines Flight
261 unfortunatelost their lives. Read more about this on visiting this
webpage: www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
I have made several enquiries to the United States Embassy to locate any of
his extended relatives and this has been unsuccessful, I have also sent
letters to his address in Alaska but it was never answered.After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet to
locate any member of his family. In view of this I got your contact through a
google search on foreigners.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 6 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next
of Kin to the deceased since you are a foreign person and can receive the
funds on my behalf so that the proceeds of this Investment portfolio valued
at ($10,820,000 USD) can be paid to you for us to share 50% will be for me as
the initiator of the deal and 50% to you as my foreign partner whom will
receive the funds, Or else the funds will get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by some unscrupulous British officers at the IFC.
This is because the IFC constitution prohibits such Investment portfolio to
last 8 years.Your nationality and area of specialization does not matter, as
all modalities have been concluded to present you as the next of kin and
consequently, the beneficiary of the fund.
N.B:
Inheritance is not a crime all over the world, but may be a crime only when
you did not follow the Rules of the International Law of Inhisitance. In this
transaction we shall follow strictly all the rules of the International Law of
Inhisitance as I have obtained all the necessary documents from the
appropriate authorities to prove his death and that the inheritance funds is
legitimate and genuine. I will log into the IFC treasury system at my office
and key in your data as the Next of Kin to Mr Morris Thompson, this means that
you have all rights to the funds and no law shall find you guilty both at
local and International because the treasury blueprints will clearly state
your data as the true beneficiary and next of kin, so this transaction is 100%
risk and hitch free. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law both at
local and International.
Please note, I am the only one aware of this transaction in my office and I
have all legal documents of my late customer locked up in my personal safe, I
want you to take this as top secret and very confidential. Please do not
inform any third party about this so that we can successfully execute this
transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from
any breach of the law both at local and International levels.If you are ready
