Mr.Mark Tucker
Auditor General of
Natwest Bank Group
UK.
Dear ,
I am Mr.Mark Tucker Auditor General of Natwest Bank Group UK. Natwest Bank London. I am writing following an oppurtunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of £20.5million British Pounds Sterling (Twenty million five hundred thousand British Pounds) 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 site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
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 we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.Unfortunately
I learnt 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 behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for
safety 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.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,while the balance 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. Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me by return mail.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 response.
Please if you are interested in this project contact me for further directives.
Best regards
Mr.Mark Tucker

bank. thank you anyway.

i told you, i don't even know this mr johnson guy, let alone be related to
him. quite frankly, this whole deal sounds rather shady to me. why should
i keep it quiet? my understanding is that there are all kinds of places
you need to report an inheritance windfall, for example, to the local
government for taxation purposes. also, why are you calling it *your*
money now? i thought you said this was an inheritance of some sort? maybe
you are a terrorist or a hacker, hmm?

this may actually be a problem since i am in the united states and we
use a type of currency called "dollars." my understanding is that
"dollars" are a slightly more advanced kind of currency than "pounds,"
which these days are mostly used for weighing things in advanced
countries like the u.s. i was never too good at accounting, so i
hope you will excuse me if i am a bit backward in my knowledgement.
anyway, my point is that i'm pretty sure i can explain away a sudden
large deposit of "dollars" into my bank accounts, but i think a
deposit of "pounds" would raise some eyebrows. and even if i could
explain it away as an inheritance from overseas, i wouldn't be able
to spend it because everybody around here takes "dollars" instead of
"pounds."
how do you think we should handle this problem?
yours in all confidence,
schmolli

Dear Schmolli,
How are you and how is your weekend?
Thanks for your mail.
I will advice you to disregard any other mail you receive apart from mine , those guys that are sending you mail are dubious individuals and are thieves,they are contacting you because they want to get some vital information from you so that they can divert our funds into another account for their personal interest, also i want you to always forward to me any mail your received from them so that i can advice you on what to do. You should be very careful this time around because we have perfected all modalities that will see this transaction through.
I await your update and the needed information to enable us commence this transaction.
God bless.
Mark Tucker
