I am Steve Wilson, head of Auditing, Natwest Bank London,England.On

property magnate,whom I was his accounting officer made a numbered time

Fifty Thousand Pounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.

Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered that Mr.Andreas Schranne,his wife and only daughter was
aboard the AF4590 plane,which crashed Monday, 31 July, 2000 into the
Hotelissimo.You can read more about the crash on visiting this site

(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm).

My investigation, proved that he died with his supposed next of kin
(the daughter Mrs.Andrea Eich) in the crash.

The total sum, £6,550,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No
one will ever come forward to claim it.Consequently, I shall present
you to stand in as the next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranne.

Consequently,Upon acceptance of this proposal,I will give you a
detailed information on how this deal would be carried out.The money
will be shared in the ratio: sixty five percent(65%) for me,thirty five
percent(35%) for you .

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my
position as the Bank's head of Auditors and his accounting officer to
secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.

Please be informed that your utmost confidentialityis required.On your
reply include your private telephone/fax number.

Awaiting your urgent reply.

Best regards,

The first thing which came to mind was...How the hell did this Mr. Steve Wilson get my E-mail address?
- Actually, it doesn't really matter...as I wasn't about to click on that línk which ends in ,stm

The second thing was...Why does the number AF4590 look So familiar???
Then it hit me...I've seen the documentary on television many times before. AF4590 was the flight number of the Air France Concorde which crashed in Paris, France.

Anyway...I did not reply Mr. Steve Wilson's E-mail, as no British person who holds a high position in a Bank, would word his letter in such a manner...and with mistakes.
Furthermore, I think his proposal is a load of bullshit.
