Lagos-Nigeria.
Email: peterbellojohn20052006@inmail24.com
Attention: Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr.Peter Bello, the Manager, Credit and Foreign bills of
Regent Bank Plc. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our bank
with account number 14-255-114 whose name is Late Mr. Morris Thompson, an
america by citizen who perished in a 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;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has
come to claim his funds of US$15.5M (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very long
time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the Next of Kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than
Ten Years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as
unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal when i was
making a research on a foreigner i will use in this great opportunity. For
your assistant i will give you 30% of the total amount then 10% has been
maped out to donate to the motherless baby home, while the remaining 60%
will be for me and my partner.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the
letter of application which you will type sign and send back to our bank
to enable us start this transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the
smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction
will be completed within five banking days of receiving your response,
after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
decision
including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication on my
personal email address: peterbellojohn20052006@inmail24.com
Yours
Sincerely,
Mr.Peter Bello
Manager Credit and Foreign Bills
Regent Bank Nig Plc.
