Dear Friend
Greetings, I am Mr.Henry Okoye the Account Manager of Late Mr. Morris
Thompson in Standard Trust Bank Regional Office in Victoria island, here in
Lagos. However I got your contact through the International web directory.I
decided to contact you by email because I feel that it is more secured and
private.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money Valued
USD35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five Million Dollars only)that belongs to one of
our late Customer who died in a plane crash .During our investigation and
auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to 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://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
and http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
The fund has been dormant in his account With this Bank without any claim of
the funds in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery of this development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed for
five years, it will be forfeited to the Bank treasury as an unclaimed
bill.It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is upon
this discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull
out this dormant fund. In order to avert this negative development, I on
behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to have you stand
in as next of kin to Our late Customer so that the fund will be released
and paid into your account as the beneficiary´s next of kin now that the
bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased ,Late
Mr. Morris Thompson.
In fact we could have done this deal alone but because
of our position in this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to
operate a foreign account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on our
side during the time of transfer since we still work in this bank, this is
the actual reason why we required a second party or fellow who will assist
us forward claims as the next of kin and also provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this fund,
even an empty a/c can also serve for this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% as
gratification for your assisting us, and the remaining 60% will be for me
and my partners.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have
in my possession, all the necessary Documents to successfully accomplish the
operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk free.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive
response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your
wish.
I await your Urgent Responce.

Mr.Henry Okoye
