Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Robin Quest the Auditor General of CITIBANK 364 Kensington High
St London W14 8NS. I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On May 20, 1999, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH
PETROLUEM
CORPORATION Mr. Dara Baraz. Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar
months,valued at
S$32,200,000.00(Thirty two Million two hundred thousand dollars only) in
this bank.
Upon maturity in 2001, 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 hiscontract
employers, the
British petroleum corporation that Mr.Dara Baraz 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 Dara Baraz did
not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork
in my Bank.
This sum of US$32,200,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 1999 in
my bank as all efforts
to get his relatives have hit the stones.According to the British law at
the expiration of 6
(six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government
if nobody applies
to claim the fund and the six years is the end of November 2005. 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 desi
gnated 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.
Regards.
Robin Quest
