Dear Friend.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On April
20th, 2002, an Iraqi National a member of Kurdish political chieftain Jalal
Talabani's family Oil consultant/contractor with The
Iraqi Northern Oil Company Mr Ghazi Talabani Made a deposit valued at
US$20.000,000 (Twenty Million dollars only) in a private business account in
the bank.
Futher contact revealed that Mr Ghazi Talabani had died months later as a
result of Gunmen attack on his way to work on the June 17, 2004. He had died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of
kin was fruitless. Also, he did not declare any kin or business partner in
all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
According to the Statutory Regulation law the account is about to be
declared unclaimed and the money will automatically be reverted to the
ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and
this will take place in few months time.
Consequently as an auditor of the account and that of the bank my proposal
is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin and business partner 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 am assuring you
that the business is risk free.
Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose as i
will leave London to your country once we conclude.
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 on you.

information which will include phone and fax.

James Walter
