I am Mr Bob Clemons, Branch Manager Prudential plc Laurence Pountney Hill,
London..I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you
that should be handled with extreme confidentiality.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$20.5 Million Dollars
(Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand 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.

http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or relatves 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 two other officials in this department now 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 Government treasury as unclaimed
bill.
This sum US$20.5million of has been carefully moved out of my bank to a
Financial and Security Company for safekeeping.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds.
I contacted to assist in claiming the money in the Financial and Security
Company where it is presently lodged.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,while
the balance will be for me and my colleagues. 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 and trust is our
watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you
receive this mail you should contact me by return mail.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response.
Please if you are interested in this project contact me for further
directives.
Best regards
Mr Bob Clemons
