Greetings,

I am David Thorburn Chief Operating Officer, Clydesdale Bank. I am getting
in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with similar
last name and an investment he placed under our banks management 8 years
ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a
result of this mail. I contact you independently and no one is informed of
this communication.

In mid 2001, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United
Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a
security firm. I informed him that Clydesdale Bank would have to make
special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due
process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to
cater for banking and statutory charges.

He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained
to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement
across boarders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11.
I contacted my affiliate and made the funds available to the security
firm. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise
instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with the security
firm. The Security Firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits
from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle
valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to
cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to
the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with
instructions, the money was deposited with the security firm.

However Security firm got in touch with us last year that this money has
not been claimed. On further enquiries we found out that Anthony Died of a
heart attack in Cannes, South of France, which means he died intestate. He
has no next of kin.

What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will
be made the beneficiary of these funds. My bank will contact you informing
you that money has been willed to you. On verification, which will be the
details I make available to my bank, my bank will instruct the
headquarters to make payments to you. You do not have to have known him. I
know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For
all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half. In the
banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money
will revert back to the state.

Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the
KEY to these funds, and as a British National we see so much cash and
funds being re-assigned daily.

I would want us to keep communication for now strictly by email Please,
again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this
mail not without a measure of fear as to t the consequences, but I know
within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and
riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I
have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence.
If we casn be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please pardon
my writing mistakes.

Please get back to me immediately.

I await your response.

David Thorburn.
