REQUESTING
With great pleasure I am writing this proposal on behalf of my partners.I
got your information through my personal search on the internet. Hence I
have decided to seek your cooperation,due to the sensitivity of this
transaction and my commitment as a civil servant. I am Mr. Mike Bill the
manager Bills and Exchange under foreign remittance department of Bank Of
Ireland Dublin Republic Of Ireland There is an account opened in this Bank
in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account again. After
going through some old files in the records, I Discovered that if I do not
remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing.The owner of
this account is DR. Abu Hebru ( Nasim Saleh), a foreigner, Geologist by
profession and he died since 1999. In an air crash along with his wife Mrs.
Zainab Hebru on 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other
passengers on board. No other person know about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved To me as well that his company does not know anything about his
account and the amount involved is (US$ 12.7)Twelve Million seven Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars. I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank here, but can only be
approved to any foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the
former owner of the account is DR. Abu Hebru is a foreigner too. Our
constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual,to
whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit, since
our period of disengagement from the civil service is near.
We are presently affected by the Republic Of Ireland civil service code of
conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign
accounts.You will be given 20% of the total sum,while 70% will be for me and
10% for taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. This transaction is 100%
risk free provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
Furthermore, your area ofspecialization is not a hindrance to the successful
execution of this Thank you and God Bless,
My sincere Regards
Mr. MIKE BILL
