In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 10.5million British Pounds Sterling (Ten million five hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson 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.

Now the bank has been waiting for any of the relatives to come-up for the claim but nobody has done that.I personally has been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for 4 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/ Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 10.5Million British Pounds can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you. I will secure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please, provide me the following:
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regards,
Ken Williams
