Goodday,

I have a proposal for you, this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I work with the above bank. Here in this bank exists a dormant account which belong to a American citizen presently Late " Mr Morris Thompson " He died on Alaska Airlines Flight 261 few years back. Click the below line , http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list

When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a systematic investigation and discovered that non of his family member nor relations is aware of this account as he never expected to died so soon.

I want us to get the account balance to an account overseas for our own use since no one will come for the claim because the bank board members do not know about my findings about the costumer. I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account since I am the head of auditing department. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation. The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this account stands at US$14.1 Million Dollars Presently.

Now my questions are:-

1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I trust your confidentiality?
3. Can you finance this transaction?
4) What will be your commission?

You have nothing to worry about on my side for I have tighten up all loop holes, it is presently risk free. This can be concluded within two weeks. I will resign after this operation and come over to your country to settle down with my family.

Consider this and get back at me as soon as possible. Call me at this direct line +22-892-574-18 for oral discussion.

I am expecting your urgent response as soon as you receive my message. Write me at kim1l4lj@yahoo.com for security measures

Regards,
Mr Kim Lata.
