Here in this company existed a deposit for the past 6 years with A/C

Morris Thompson who died on 4th February 2000 on board with Alaska Airlines

More details about the deceased himself,you can check on

When I discovered that non of his relatives came for this deposit, I decided
to carry out a system investigation and discovered that non of the family
member nor relations of the late person is aware of this deposit. This is
the story in a nutshell.
Now I want someone from overseas who will be presented to the company as the
bonafide next of kin so that this fund will be transfered on his
name,thereafter,I had planned to destroy all related documents for this
deposit. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have
worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation. The deposit is
intact and stands at-(US$14.5M) fourteen million five hundred thousand
united states dollars,what is needed now is foreigner then i will furnish
you with related information to back-up this claim successfully.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer.
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.Finally, it is our
humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the
necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves.
To prove to you how authentic this great opportunity mean to I and you,I
hereby assure you that if we do not have this fund lifted in 10 days time
upon the day of application,then withdraw from this transaction.
Please for our subsiquent communication and contacts kindly send me the
following when replying :
Your private mobile number.........

You shall also open an empty/blank Bank account which shall have no money on
it to avoid conflict between I and you,this is where this fund shall be
transfered into.
I expect your urgent response if you can handle this project,send me an
email for confirmation.
Respectfully yours,
Mr.Amed Kodjo.
