Subject: FOR YOUR ATTENTION
From The Desk Of:
Mr. Fredrick Cartier,
Auditor General, Natwest Bank Group,
Caryle House, Carlyle Rd, Cambridge,CB4 3DH,
United Kingdom.
My Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Fredrick Cartier Auditor General of Natwest Bank Group, UK. I am
writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense
benefit to both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of
£26.4 million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty six million four hundred
thousand British Pounds) 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 relatives 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 decided 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 laying claims for it and we
don’t want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed
bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after six(6) years will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
funds. We agreed that 35% of this money would be for you as gratification
for assistance rendered, while the balance will be for my colleagues and me.
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 as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Our assurance is
that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the legality it
deserves as with all modalities put in place we are certain in actualizing a
hitch free transfer of the funds without any hitch. Kindly signify your
intention to assist by sending me an email for further procedures relating
to this transaction.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalized. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response. If you are interested in this project contact me as a
matter of urgency for further directives.
You can contact me via email address:fredtier01@cosmail.com
Best regards,
Mr. Fredrick Cartier.
