*Dear Friend,***
* *
*In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$30 million (Thirty
Million United States 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 which I got during my
investigation.*

*http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/*
* *
*Since I got information about his death, I 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.*
* *
*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 one other official 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
the Government treasury account as unclaimed BILL.*
*The banking laws and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained
after Ten years the money will be transferred into Government treasury
account as unclaimed funds.*
* *
*We agreed that 40% of this money would be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance of 60% will be for my colleague and I, as you are the person to
act and provide overseas account as the Next of Kin" to inherit the said
fund. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the
percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please
be honest to me.*
