Good Day to you.
My name is Donald Morgan from the Bahamas. I was formerly employed as an investment banker with an
offshore Bank in the Bahamas. A former colleague of mine, who is now a senior Accounts Manager with
the bank delegated me to contact you with regards to an American client of the bank named James
Burton. James Burton opened an account with the bank in June 2001. The last activity on this
account dates back to April 24, 2006. But on May 5, 2006, there were some unusual activities on

interest will be well secured. They will prepare documents to show that you are the TRUSTEE AND
CUSTODIAN to the !

I will appreciate your timely response through my private email above. Call me to acknowledge the
receipt of this letter so that I can provide you with detailed clarification about this project.
Please indicate a private cell phone or telephone number where you can be reached.
Sincerely Yours,
Donald Morgan.
