LETTER OF INTENT!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Michael J.Leyden,the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Royal Bank Of Scotland.With due respect and regard, I have urgent
and very confidential business proposal for you.We are being Mandated to
investigate all unclaimed payments in the bank and during our
investigation and auditing in this Bank and by Virtue of my position as the
Director I discovered a unclaimed sum of money to the tune of 15.500.000.00
(Fifteen Point Five Million Pounds sterling which belong to MR.MORRIS
THOMPSON a deceased passenger who died on January 31st 2000 with Alaska
Airlines Flight 261.
You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the
incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account. On
further investigation we found out that before his death, he died without
making a (will) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless and
neither did he declare any next of kin in the official document in the Bank
including his Bank deposit paper in the Bank. No one has ever come forward
to claim the fund. According to our ethnic Law of nation,at the expiration
of 5(five!) years, the Funds will revert to the ownership of the Scotland
government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to Stand in as the next
of kin to MR.MORRIS THOMPSON so that the fruits of this old man labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government/banks officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full name and
address so that an Attorney will prepare the necessary documents/paperwork
and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the service of an accredited Attorney for the drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents in your favor
for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world which you will
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this Funds to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The Funds will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as the paper work for this transaction will be done
by the Attorney and my position as an insider of the bank i shall make sure
I see the successful execution of this transaction.
If you Are interested, please reply immediately via email.Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you to understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your Country.
Best regards
Mr.Michael J.Leyden
