Subject: NEXT OF KIN PAY-OUT
Dear Friend,
This will be my last and final letter to you regarding the payout on the deposit of my late client.
My name is Rowley Ashworth, I am an Independent Book keeper in the UK.I write to notify you about a fruitful transaction that would be of
immense benefit to both of us.My late Client ( MR. BURKE SEAN ) until his death aboard an AERO FLIGHT 801 in 1997 deposited a total of sum of Five Million Five Hundred And Fifty Thousand British Pounds (£5,550,000.00) an equivalent of USD $11,415,000.00 at the prevailing exchange rate in the codicil to his will and last testament. ( see attached website for the full listing of the deceased passengers)

He deposit the funds with the Bank of England 11 years ago, with me as a principal witness. The Bank of England is about to declare the funds
unclaimable because the funds have remained dormant for the past 11 years.It is my candid opinion that you contact me urgently so that we can present
you as the next of kin to claim the deposit, instead of allowing Treasury to declare the funds unclaimable.
Your urgent reply is needed to enable us commence proceedings to claim the total deposit from the Bank of England.We are doing this within the lnternational Legal framework, all the LEGAL DOCUMENTS pertaining to my late Client are in my possession. So there is no need for you to worry whether this is legitimate or not as we will transfer this fund according to legal procedures.
1. Your Full Name 2. Your Address 3. Occupation 4. Age 5. Tel/Fax Numbers
As soon as we establish contact, I will give you details of the Deposit and
all the
relevant information you will need to claim the deposit.
Yours sincerely;
ROWLEY ASHWORTH - MBE.
