Dear Sir/Madam,


With due respect and honour, My Name is James Wanda,A Business Consultant Based in London.I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable Person/company to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my clients( Directors of Foreign procurement/operations and payment,(AngloGold Ashanti Ltd south africa,formerly AngloGold Ltd, Registration number 1944/017354/06 incorporated in South Africa. As a matter of fact, I am searching for an individual who will fit perfectly into the business at hand. I write in respect of one of our clients contractors, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed onJanuary 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money. You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site: .

The owner of this accounts Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska. Prior to his death, the owner of this accounts Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, supplied goods worth US$12.4
Million in 1997/98 to Anglo Gold Ashanti Ltd and was awaiting his payment. Since the death of this man, nobody has come forward to claim the money on his behalf as next of kin or relative to the late Mr. Morris Thompson. Part of this money was paid into his Domiciliary Escrow Account with the ABN-AMRO BANK LONDON BRANCH and the final US$8.2 Million have been approved for payment. If remitted into his account, the total amount in the Domiciliary Escrow account will be US$10.6 million (Ten million, Six hundred thousand United States Dollars).

It is only an insider, the account owner or a next of kin who has information about the account that could produce the Code or password of the deposit particulars. Also the funds can only be released to a foreigner.My clients will front you(Not in person but through documentations) as the next of kin to Late Mr Morris Thompson or relative to the late Mr. Morris Thompson.

We will handle all financial embodiments, logistics and documentations to legitimize it.You provide an account for the transfer of the funds. My clients will jointly offer you 25% of the net as the foreign account owner, 5% for expenses during the transaction while 70% will be for my clients. To enable immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the relation or next of kin to the deceased, indi!

your claims and where the money will be remitted.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the test of the application that you will fill and submit to the foreign remittance director of Abn-Amro Bank London Branch and also some documents you may need to sign for the release of the final US$8.2 Million from the Anglo Gold Ashanti Ltd.
