I sincerely seek your confidence.
Dear Friend,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does
not meet your personal ethics, I am Mr Ken
Zunga. The manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of my Bank. I am
writing you for the second time since you did
not reply to me at first. However, I am
contacting you in order to ask for your
assistance on this confidential business
proposal with full financial benefit for both
me and you. Before I go into further details,
please be informed that I am writing without
any other person(s) pre-knowledge of my
contacting you on this transaction. Therefore I
will appreciate same attitude to be maintained
by you all through.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum
of US$18.5Million usd, (Eighteen Million, Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with account
number 14-2558-5976 that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along with his wife
and only daughter in a plane crash of Alaska
Airlines Flight number 261 which crashed on
January 31st 2000. You shall read more about
the crash on visiting this site.

The owner of this account is Mr. Morris
Thompson an American and great industrialist
and a resident of Alaska. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you and for our bank to
release the money to you. You have to follow
the instruction which I will be sending to you
as the next of kin or business partner to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and I don't want
this money to go into our bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
In appreciation of your assistance, I am
offering you 40% of the total sum. 5% for
contingencies (cost of transfer/other charges)
likely to be incurred during the course of
transaction, while the remaining 55% is for me
and i will be investing part of my share in
your country under your care. Upon receipt of
your reply, I will send to you by fax or email
the text of the application which you will
complete and forward to our bank asking for
this money to be paid to you as the next of kin
to Mr. Morris Thompson.
This transaction is totally free of risk and
troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not
originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism
or any other illegal act. You should contact me
immediately you finish reading this mail
through mrkenzunga@live.fr with the following
information.
1) Your office and home addresses
2) Your Occupation.
3) Your Age.
4) Your Private Telephone number.
5) Your Nationality.
Do reply me on mrkenzunga@live.fr for
confirmation of your receipt and understanding
of this mail.
I await for your favorable response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Ken Zunga.
