Dear Sir/Ma,
I am MR Wax Eze, the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Inland Bank Plc.
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 chairman I
discovered a unclaimed sum of money to the tune of
US$15.000.000.00 (Fifteen Million United Dollar which
belong to MR. MORRIS THOMPSON a deceased passenger ho
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 kinin
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
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
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 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 and affidavits which will put you
in place 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
money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The
money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ration 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
to see the successful execution of this transaction.
If you Are interested, please reply immediately via
telephone or by 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 rest assured that thistransaction
would be most profitable for both of us because Ishall
require your assistance to invest my share in your
Country. please reply me throught my altanative email box
