Subject: Await your response - Urgent
Good day,
I am Barrister Michael Wood, lawyer to late
Mr.Morris Thompson who lost his life in plane crash
involving Alaska Airline's Flight 261, which crashed
on January 31st.2000, including his wife and only
daughter.
Mr. Morris Thompson aged 61 hailed from Fairbanks, Alaska in United States of America. He was one of the states's
mostprominent native and business leader. All these you are very free to verify from the web link below for more
information and clarification about his socio-economic status until his death;

Before the demise of my client, he disclosed to me his
account status,which amounted to $10.5million (Ten
million five hundred thousand american dollars). He also handed over to me some vital copies of documents regarding this
fund already trapped at finance house in London.
I was at the last burial rights on February,5th,2000
to pay my final respect to Late Mr.Morris Thompson.There I made thorough inquiries about his relatives but,discovered no
one really knows about this fund currently sited at
London.Since then, I have made successive attempts to
get his next of kin or relative to come forth and claim this fund but to no avail.
As the personal lawyer to my late client, I cannot
in any way claim it unless someone overseas does so.
Just two weeks ago, I received a routine notification
from the finance house concerning this fund, and the officialsof this firm issued a warning,stressing the urgency for
late Mr. Morris Thompson's relative or next of kin to come forward to claim this fund immediately or they will have it
confiscated and forwarded to the Nation's treasury account as an unclaimed fund. This is the agreement they have reached
at the company and they also reiterated that this is according to the company's guidelines.
MY REQUEST;
Owing to the fact that his daughter whom should have
stand a better chance of claiming this fund, also
perished in that fatal air crash,I want you to stand
in as the next of kin to late Mr. Morris Thompson.
Like I earlier asserted,I have in my possession the necessary documents that will enable me to place you in,as the right
beneficiary to my late client's fund in this firm.Be informed that upon successful transfer of this money into your
account,you shall have 35% of it as your share.
I must remind you that trust and transparency must be our watchword in the course of this transaction. I will discuss
with you in details when I receive your response.Please include the following in your reply to me.
(1.)Your Name in full.
(2.)A reliable phone and Fax number
(3.)Occupation
(4)contact address in full.
(5)Age
Yours sincerelly,
Barrister Michael Wood.
