Determination: scam probable phishing attempt. Never answers spams such as these.

Hello,

I am a 52 years old British citizen, my name is Morgan G. Jones, a General Manager at a finance company in Europe.

On Tuesday, 19 January, 1999, one Dr. Paul Jacobi, an American citizen, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £10,550,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds) for twelve calendar months in my company 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 from his company that Dr. Paul A. Jacobi was aboard the Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. After further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin proved abortive.

On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi did not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official documents, including his Deposit paper work here in our company. The total sum, £10,550,000.00 is still in my company.

In accordance with our banking laws and constitution, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will be revert to our Government treasury if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi.

Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the "Next of Kin Payment Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be carried out.

We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Dr.
Paul A. Jacobi and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for payment approval in my company headquarters in your favour. The money will be shared in the ratio:
Sixty-five percent for me, thirty five percent for you (£3,692,500 British pounds). Hope this will be satisfactory.

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 to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. Should this proposal meet your interests respond back via my alternate e-mail:

Awaiting your urgent response.

Thanks.

Respectfully,

Morgan G. Jones.(ppkings212@yahoo.com.hk) Ps. In your response furnish me with your confidential contact Tel, Fax and mailing Address for further contact.
