account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late
Mr.Thompson Morrison American citizen 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.
The choice of contacting you is aroused from the
geograpgical nature of where you live, particularly due to
the sensivity of the transaction and the confidentiality
herein. Now our 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 2 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 $16.4 Million
Dollars can be paid to you.
This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages,60%
to me and 40% to you. I have secured all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up this claim we are
making. All i need is to fill in your names to the ducuments
and legalise it in the court here to prove you as the
legitimate beneficiary. All I require now 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: as we have 5 days to run
it through. this is very very URGENT PLEASE.
1. Full Name

Having gone through a methodical search, I decided to
contact you hoping that you will find this proposal
interesting. Please on your confirmation of this message and
indicating your interest will furnish you with more
information. Endeavor to let me know your decision rather
than keep me waiting.
