Subject: Good morning.
Dear Personnel,
I am a staff of Natwest Bank London. I am writing following an
opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.I got
your ermail address through my private search on internet sourcing for a
capable hand that will assist in this huge transaction for our future
benefit and i believe you are capable to do that.
In my department, i discovered an abandoned sum of 26.5million
Pounds Sterling (Twenty Six million five hundred thousand
United State Dollars) 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.

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.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter
died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of
this fund behind for the claim.
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 if such money is
remained after five years, the money will be transferred into banking
treasury as unclaimed funds.
I will agree to share with you on an agreed percentage for your
partnership in this business which i will prefer to call a deal. Please be
honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction, note this
transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you
receive this mail you should contact me by return mail. Please note
that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response.
Do email me back on your full understanding and acceptance of your role in
this mutual benefiting project.
You should reply me through any of my alternative email address:
pe_te_rc_ol_e@yahoo.co.uk
Best regards
Mr.Peter Scott.
Natwest Bank London.
UNITED KINGDOM.
