and believing in> GOD that you will never let me down.
I am Mr,Irvin Smith, during the course of our auditing we discovered
afloating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1998
nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records,I discovered that the owner of the account died without
a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money
out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account Mr. Morris Thompson an American and great
industrialist and a resident of Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in
the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crahsed on January 31
2000,including his wife and only daughterleaving nobody as next of kin.

fourteen million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only
[$14,500.000.00] and we wish to transfer this money into a safe
foreigners account abroad. But I ndon't know any foreigner, I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to
a local person here, but to a foreigner who has information about the
account, which I shall give to you upon your positive response. I am
revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me
down in this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform
you the next step to take urgently.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let us down, me and
key bank officials who are deeply involved with me in this business. I
