Subject: Re: Email me back
Hello Friend,
Please I beg your indulgence if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. But I believe it is only a day that people do meet and become great friends and business partners or more. I was searching for a contact in US and Canada when I saw your email. I believe you are of full age and integrity. I might be wrong, so please let me know.
My name is Mr. Jeff Henry Momoh, 45 years old. Head Financial Control & Planning department, Bond Bank Plc.I am divorced, have 3 kids living with me at home. I'm 5'11 tall. black. I love animals. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love to travel. I love the outdoors, swimming, riding, skeet shooting, etc..I have a healthy and active social life.
I have been the head of Accounts department in my bank head office, but last September, I was asked to take position of the Head, Financial Control & Planning department of our branch in Maryland , so that was how I became the present Head Head Financial Control & Planning
department.
As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $5,410,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 5 years. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Nicholas Humber owner, Brae Burn Management and a resident of Newton, Mass, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of American Airlines Flight 11: A Boeing 767 en route from Boston to Los Angeles. The plane, carrying 81 passengers, nine flight attendants and two pilots, crashed into a tower of New York's World Trade Center about 8:45 a.m. ET.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site, which I got during my investigation;

As an escrow-call account, a secret type of account in my bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Nicholas Humber, meaning that no one is aware of the account.
I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Head Financial Control & Planning department, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any person from overseas that comes up as the next of kin to the account.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to you.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details.
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I await your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr.Jeff Henry Momoh
