419 scam: "Jonathan Russell" <jonaruss12@msn.com> BUSINESS NOTIFICATION

Good Day,

First, I must solicit your STRICT confidence in this

Proposition, this is by virtue of its nature as being

utterly, CONFIDENTIAL. I have decided to contact you

after serious considerantion to participate in a

business transaction the value of USD38.5M.

My name is Jonathan Russell. I work with one of the

leading private and offshore banks in the Isle of Man.

The Proposition: On January 6, 1999, an Egyptian oil

consultant/contractor, Mr. Youssef Genidy George, made

a numbered time (fixed) deposit for 24 calendar months

value US$38.5M in my bank. On maturity, we sent a

routine notification to his forwarding address but got

no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder but

unfortunately we found out that he was amongst the

victims of the EgyptAir Flight 990 that occured

September 1999, months after he made the deposit.

Visit the site below for more news on the unfortunate

tragedy.

Right now, my bank is at the edge of declaring the

funds UNCLAIMABLE since nobody has come forward to

claim the deposited money with my bank.

Mr Youssef unfortunately did not leave a beneficiary's

name with my bank nor did he leave the name of his

next of kin. It is inlight of this that I have decided

to contact you to stand in as the beneficiary of the

deposited funds by the late MR Youssef. Since I work

in the bank, and in my capacity, I will make you the

beneficiary of the said funds. There are two options

open to successfully make you the beneficiary of the

deposited money. I have thought about these options

very well and found out they are foolproof. Moreso, I

have all related documents and information about the

deposit. I will provide you these options and

documents upon your reply. Kindly respond with your

private phone and fax numbers.

I will await your response.

Kind regards,

Jonathan Russell.
