National Australia Bank,

I am Mr Graeme Willis, Executive General Manager, , National Australia Bank, London.
On January 6th 1999, one Mr. George Small, an American National,a consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £11,500,000.00(Eleven Million,Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. George Small was aboard the EgyptAir Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31 1999 (http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm).
After further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin proved fruitless.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Mr. George Small did not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the Bank. The total sum, £11,500,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the late Mr. George Small.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the National Australia Bank "Next of Kin Payment Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be carried out.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. George Small and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio:
Sixty percent for me, thirty five percent for you and five percent for any arising contigencies during the course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the Bank's Executive General Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately and include your private telephone number fax number.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Mr. Graeme Willis
