Mr. Letian Tangle.
Branch Manager,
Municipal Private Bank Scotland
United Kingdom.
mrletian@gmail.com
I am Mr. Letian Tangle,the Manager of Municipal
Bank UK.I am writing following an oppurtunity in my
office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
This means of Communication(internet)has been greatly
abused,though it remains the fastest and the most
secured means of communication.I,however choose to
communicate with you through it due to the nature and
level of confidentiality which is required in this
correspondence.This message should remain private and
strictly between me and you.
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $15
Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars) 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.

Since we got information about his death,we have been
expecting his next of kin or relatves 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 deceed as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter or wife 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 have contacted you as the manager of
my bank to transact this business with you and release
the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of
the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disburse-
ment since nobody is coming for it and i don’t want
this money to go back into Government treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking laws and guidelines here stipulates that
such money remained after six years will be
transferred
into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
I have decided that 40% of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, while the balance of 60% would be
for 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
and let TRUST be our watchword in this
transaction.Note that this transaction is confidential
and risk free.
As soon as you receive this mail,kindly contact me
through this email.
Email:mrletian@gmail.com
Please note that all necessary arrangements for the
smooth release of these funds to you has been
finalised.We would discuss much in details when I
receive your response.Kindly in your response include
your telephone number for easy communication between
us.Thank you very much.
Forever Yours,
Mr.Letian Tangle
Bank Manager(Municipal bank)
