Dear Sir\Ma,
I am Barrister. steve martin Attorney to late Mr.Morris Thompson an American
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 most prominent native and business
leader.All these you are very free to verify from the we blink below for
more information and clarification about his socio-economic status until his
death;

www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Before the demise of my client,he disclosed to
me his account status which amounted to £40.5million British Pounds
Sterling (Forty million five hundred thousand British Pounds).He

also handed over to me some vital copies of documents regarding this
fund already trapped at Natwest Bank London,England.
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 kins but,discovered no one relay knows about
this fund currently sited at Natwest bank 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.And as personal
attorney to my late client, I cannot in any way claim it unless someone
overseas does so.
I must not hesitate to inform you that just forth night ago, I received a
routine notification from Natwest Bank London a concerning
this fund, and the officials of this bank 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 bank and they also reiterated that this is according to their banking
guidelines.
HERE IS MY PROPOSAL;
Owing to the fact that his only daughter who stands 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 bank.
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
honesty and trust, transparency must be our watchword in the course of
this transaction.

N:B, This transaction is confidential and risk free. PLEASE do not contact
me on any number or email address, except the one I have clearly stated in
this mail.You can only contact me on my
email address Email;francisokolie_2005@yahoo.com
