This scam email comes to me from "Matthew Wyles" <test@antclick.com>

 Dear sir,

With due respect and humility, I write to you this proposal.I am the

NEW  chief executive officer (ceo) of the Hampshire Trust Bank

London, uk. . I am writing following the impressive information about you, l

got your contact in my quest for a reliable and capable person to assist me

in this deal.

Though I know that a business of this magnitude will make any one

apprehensive, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the

day. i  have decided to contact you by email due to the urgency of this

"deal", as we have been reliably informed of your honesty and ability in a

transaction of this nature.

Hampshire Trust Bank discovered an abandoned sum of US$30m dollars (THIRTY

Million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign

customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with

his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.

About his death, the Hampshire Trust Bank have been expecting his next of

kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it unless

somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as

indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but unfortunately we learnt

that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the

ugly plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claims. It is therefore upon

this discovery that I have decided to make this business proposal to you to

transact this DEAL with you and to act as the next of kin or relation to the

deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth

and l dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.

According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that

if such money remained unclaimed after many  years,the money will

automatically be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. My

request for a foreigner to act as next of kin in this business is by the

fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of this country cannot

stand or put claims as next of kin to a foreigner. l agreed to offer 30% of

the total fund to you, for your assistance, to act as the next of Kin to the

foreigner,to provide account, 10% will be for reimbursement of any expenses

incurred during the curse of the transaction.

There after, I and my family will visit your country for disbursement and

for investment in your country. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer

of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as

relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank

account number, your private telephone and fax number for easier and

effective communication and location where the money will be transferred.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of

the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this

transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear

as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.

Let truth and honesty be our watchword in this transaction while I look

forward to receiving your immediate response.

Yours faithfully,

 Matthew Wyles
