Subject: your assistance is needed
attn:
I am mr EVANDA EVANS a staff of Natwest Bank here in the United
Kingdom.I am writing following an oppurtunity in my office that will
be of hope in my department .we discovered an abandoned sum
of .2.5million British Pounds Sterling (Two million five hundred thousand
British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers
.i contacted you because you have the the same last name with him.dont look
down on this.i know you can
be of help to me thats why i contacted you.
Late Mr.ALLISON SHANKS ,an American while his mother is from asia 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
website.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
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 the
Bank cannot release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next
of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
bankingguidelines.ME AND MY COLLEAGUES WANT TO FRONT YOU AS THE NEXT
OF KIN TO MR ALLISON SHANKS
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter 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 and two other officials in this department now
decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
don’we dont want this money to go back into Government treasury
as unclaimed bill.
We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,
while the ballance will be for me and my colleagues. 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 trust is our watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you
receive this mail you should contact me by return mail whether or not
you are willing to enter into this deal. In the event you are not
interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no
one about it. I am very careful on truncating my banking career
should you mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in
this regard.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in
details when I do receive your response.
Please in your response include your telephone number and fax number
for a better communication between us.you can relpy to this altantive

Best regards
EVANDA EVANS
