"Frederick Walter" is keen to con me, this is the fifth identical massage that I have had from him in two days.

RE: Mail From Mr. Frederick Walter,
HSBC Bank,
London
United Kingdom

REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg

Good Day,

My Name is Frederick Walter, the Audit Manager of a reputable bank here in London. Pardon me if the email does not conform to your moralstandards, I do not know you and you do not know me but for reasons which will become obvious to you as you read on, I obtained Your email address from an Internet address listing hoping and Believing God that you will be trustworthy, reliable and willing to assist Me.

Please Sir exercise some patience while you read through my message.I would like to strike a business deal with you if you would approve and consider it.There was a Non Resident Account opened in my Branch and for the past 8 years, this account has been dormant without operation and at the same time nobody has come to claim the money in the account.This made me to trace the source and origin of the funds and the beneficiary status starting since the year 2005 and today I have gathered every report confirming that the account owner was a Top Oil merchant in his country and now has passed away eight years ago leaving no legal inheritance instructions on the account.As at the last balance,the amount in the account is US$15,250,127.12

On further enquiries no family members exist and no one knows of the existence of this account and money because he died along with his entire family in an air crash, alaska airline flight 261 in 2000.Since his death,nobody has come for any claims as nobody knew of the account.

The name of our late customer is Mr.Morris Thompson, his wife's name Thelma Thompson, daughter's name Sheryl Thompson,the owner of Doyon Ltd, in Alaska.

PLEASE REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/thom02.shtml http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5261/is_200009/ai_n2038569

We have been expecting his next of kin to come over and file for claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and that is the reason why I have contacted you to act as the next of kin.If nothing is done now, this account will be converted into the bank treasury bythe end of the last quarter of this year if no one comes forward for the claiming of the funds.

Therefore, I come to you to know if you will agree to this offer so that I will present you officially as the legal Next of Kin/beneficiary to claim the funds while official documents will be processed/secured and prepared by an attorney here in England to support our claims.

This is a straight and legitimate deal without any risk attached/associated with it as long as it will prosecuted legaly and official according and within the precepts of the monetary policies of the British Government.

Our sharing ratio will be 70:30 incase you are interested. Please confirm your direct telephone numbers, full name and address for further discussion of this offer in details.

PLEASE REPLY TO: freddwalter2@yahoo.com.sg

Regards,

Frederick Walter.
