Dearest partner,
I MAKE THIS APPEAL WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY FACTS OR OPINIONEXPRESSED BY ME ARE GIVING IN CONAFIDENCE AND SOLELY FOR YOURPERSONALINFORMATION AND USE.
I am MR.ASSAN.the manager of bill and exchange at the foreignremittance department of my Bank.In my department I discovered an abandoned sumof (22million) withaccount number 14-2558-5976 that belongs to one of our foreigncustomers who died along with his wife and only daughter in a plane crash ofAlaska Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on 31 January, 2000. Youshall read more about the crash on visiting bellow Web site .
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/The owner of thisaccount is Mr. Morris Thomsom an American and great industrialist anda resident of Alaska.It is therefore upon this discovery that I nowdecided to make this business proposal to you and for our bank to releasethe money to you. You have to follow the instruction which I will besend to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety andsubsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't wantthis money to go into our bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such moneyremained unclaimed after Three years, the money will be transfered into thebank treasury as unclaimed fund. The money has now stayed more thanthree years and I am preparing documentaion to prove that this money hasbeentransfered to our bank treasury. It will be between me and you onlythat will know that the money is not transfered into our treasure.
This request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction isoccasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and aBurkinabêÂcannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.In appreciation of yourassistance, I am offering you 30% of the total sum. 5% for contingencies (costoftransfer/other charges) likely to be incurred during the course oftransaction, while the remaining 65% is for me.Upon receipt of your reply.
I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application whichyou will complete and forward to our bank asking for this money to bepaid to you as the next of kin to Mr;Morris Thomson. I will not fail tobring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that youshould not entertain any fear as all required arrangements have been madefor the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mailthrough my email.
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AND ENSURE THAT YOUDISPLAYED HONESTY AS A PARTNER TO ME.
Yours Faithfully,
MR.ASSAN.
