Senior Manager Accounts/Audit Dept
NatWest Bank London

Kent CT6 5JX, London Uk
Dear Friend,
With compliments and respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited nature, it was out of desperation and Curiosity that made me to contact you, to introduce myself.
I am a senior manager accounts/audit in NatWest Bank London. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 3.5 million pounds sterling (Three million five hundred Thousand Pounds Only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers late 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 which i got during my investigation;

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives 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.
However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such. I also guarantee you that this transaction is hitch free from all negative consequences. The bank will be willing to release these funds to you, since I have some of the vital documents to back it up and shall implore the services of an attorney to handle all the legal aspect of it.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, because the Foreign Operation Manager John Board is working with me for this. He has given me his full support to contact you so that we can retrieve this money for our mutual benefit.
Please send me your mailing address and your direct contact telephone numbers for the and better control call + 44 702 403 2745 or my e-mail:
Looking forward to your swift reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Simon Williams
