Greetings,
I am Mark herbet the Bank Manager of Unity Trust Bank plc 3rd Floor
Congress
House,23-28 Great Russell Street,London,WC1B 3UB.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
June
6, 1997, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH
PETROLUEM
CORPORATION MR. HAFFEZ AL SADIQUE. Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit)
for
36 calendar months, valued at US$29,500,000.00 (Twenty Nine Million
Five
hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity in 2000, I 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
contract
employers, the British petroleum corporation that Mr. HAFFEZ AL SADIQUE
died
as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein during one of his
trips
to his country Iraq. On further investigation, I found out that he died
without
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that MR HAFFEZ AL
SADIQUE.
Did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$29,500,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2000
in
my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.
According to the British law at the expiration of 8 (eight) years, the
money
will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody
applies
to claim the fund and the eight years is the end of December 2004.
Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a
foreigner
to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the
deceased
so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked
out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
of
the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I are assuring you that the
business
is risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for me and
for
investment purpose as I will leave London by the end of the year.
The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement within me
and
you. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message
in
acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the
necessary
modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any
conflict.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue
advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
PLEASE, APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS
RISK.ENDEAVOR
TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN YOUR REPLY TO
THIS BUSINESS.
God Bless you.
