It is my pleasure to use this medium, The urgency of this mail
compelled me to contact you. I am a staff of Barclays Bank Plc. I am writing
following an opportunity in my office that will be of imense benefit to
both of us.

In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$12.7M (Twelve
Million Seven Hundred Thousand, United states dollars) in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers, Late Mr. Morris Thompson an
American 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.

You shall read more about the crash on visiting this website.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because the Bank
cannot release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of kin
or a relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.

Unfortunately I learned that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund to claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I and two other officials in this department now decided to do
business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into
Government treasury as unclaimed bill.

We agreed that 20% of this money will be for you as the supposed next
of kin, while 3% out of the total sum is set aside for any expenses both
party will incur during the completion of the transfer, and remaining
balance of 77% will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your
country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above
once this money gets into your account in any safe you will prefer.
Please be honest with me and trust should be our watchword in this
transaction.

Note that this transaction is highly confidential and 100% risk free.

On receipt of this mail, please contact me by return mail if you are
willing to enter into this deal with me. In the event you are not
interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one
about it. I am very careful not to truncate my banking career should you
mention this to someone else that might blow the lid. I hope you can be
trusted in this regard as I am fully aware that you are an international
figure hence this approach.

Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in details
when I do receive your positive response.

Please in your response include your direct secured telephone number
for a better communication between you and me only.
