- I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in Great Winchester St, London, EC2N 2DB,London UK, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of 10,500,000:00 (TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED BRITAIN POUNDS) that has not been operated on for the past 7 years now. From my investigation today, I have found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, 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 news about the crash on visiting this site which I got during my investigation; http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list. This account is in dormant account in my bank here and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, I have kept a close monitoring of the account, and since then nobody has come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson, meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you immediately i received your contact information, such as:(1) Your Name:(2)Your Address:(3) Your Phone Number:(4) Your Occupation and Age: I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to us. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please contact me immediatly with your private telephone number so we can go over the details and Please do not expose this deal if you are not interested because if you do, it will take me out ofseat. And for your interest to do this business with me kindly reply asap and call me. Regards, Mr. John Swanneyl, Director Royal Bank UK.
