Subject: Hello.
Dear One,
Having obtained your contact from the international
trade database and export board and coupled with my
deep interest to invest in international export to
Europe from your country,
I am Mr.Andre Thompson,Branch Manager, Westpac Banking
Corporation London. On January 6th 1999, one Mr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser, an Egyptian national, a
consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theobald, a
leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,
valued at £7,500,000.00(Seven Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Great Britain Pounds) for twelve calendar
months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser died in air disaster in October
1st, 1999. On further investigation, it was discovered
that he died without making a WILL (interstate) and
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
Please go through this website to confirm this story
about the plane crash.

On further investigations, it was discovered that Late
Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of
kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the
Bank. The total sum, £7,500,000.00 is still in my bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the English Banking, insurance and
financial institution Laws, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin
to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall present you
as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to
late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser so that you and I can
benefit from the fruits of this old man to enhance
humanitarian Organisation Worldwide as well.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you
either by fax or email a scanned copy of the Westpac
Banking Corporation "Next of Kin Payment Application
Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal
would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the
drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT or affidavit for
administration of estate of Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser and to obtain all other relevant papers in your
name for the necessary documentation for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Seventy five
percent for me, twenty percent for you and five
percent for any arising contingencies during the
course of this transaction. I guarantee that this will
be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use
my position as the Bank's Branch Manager to secure
approvals and guarantee the successful execution of
this transaction. It will take only 7-10 working days
to conclude this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is
required. If this interests you,please include your private phone number for voice contact and fax number so that I can provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Mr Andre Thompson.
