Subject: IMPORTANT END OF YEAR TRANSACTION
Dear Friend ,
Having obtained your contact from the internet and coupled with my deep
interest to invest in your country, I decided to contact and solicit
your mutual assistance at all cost. I am Desmond Tubeny, Private
Consultant to London International Branch of HSBC Bank Plc, Level 26, 8
Canada Square,London,UK.
On January 6th 2002, one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser ,an Egyptian
National, a consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theobald, a leading
firm of project and cost management consultants, made a numbered time
(Fixed)Deposit,valued at US$19,500,000.00 Dollars (Nineteen
Million,Five Hundred Thousand dollars) for twelve calender months in
the
Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we 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 (Gardiner & Theobald) that
Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser died in an air disaster on October 31st,
2002.On
further
investigation,it was discovered that he died without making a WILL
(En-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr Mohamed Kamal
Yasser did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work at the Bank.The total
sum,$19,500,000.00USD is still on hold and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution, at the
expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the stock holders if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the
funds. Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand
in as
the next of kin to late Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser so that you and I can
benefit from the fruits of this man's labour to enhance humanitarian
Organisation Worldwide.Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send
to you detailed information on how this deal would be transacted.
The money will be shared in this ratio: Sixty percent for me,thirty
percent for you and five percent for any arising contigencies during
the course of this transaction and five percent will be given to
Orphanage

will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position
astheir consultant,London international branch to secure approvals and
