Subject: Good Living From Dubai,
Good Living From Dubai,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise,
but I believe it is only a day that people meet
and become great friends and business partners.
I am Mr.Andre Sayegh,
Head of Business Planning & Financial Control with a reputable bank here in
U. A. E. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust
you with the information I am about to reveal to you. I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you. On November 6, 2000, an
Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM
CORPORATION, MR MOHAMMAD AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar
months, valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand
Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his account officer before I was
moved to my present position recently.
Upon maturity in 2003, as his account officer and as well the Planning &
Financial officer, it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but the letter was
returned undelivered. After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but
it was again returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers,
Chevron Petroleum Corporation that .Mr. Mohammad Al Nasser died as a result
of torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President) during one
of his trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information
to the Americans. On further investigation, I discovered that Mr. Al
Nasser's family wife and two sons died during the Gulf War in Iraq and was
the reason why he did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did
not leave any WILL.
This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under
dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard
from the owner since 2003. I wish to let you know that all the investigation
I have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am the only one
that have the information. With the recent change of government in my
country and with their efforts to support the United Nations in checkmating
terrorism aid in the U. A. E. By end of this year, the government will pass
a new financial control law which will give the government authority to
interrogate account owners of above $5,000,000.00 to explain the source of
the funds, making sure it is not for terrorism support. If I do not move
this money out of the country immediately, by end of the year the government
will definitely confiscate the money, because my bank cannot provide the
account owner to explain the source of the money.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner
and that is why I am contacting you for assistance. As his Account Officer
to late Al Nasser, coupled with my present position and status in the bank
as Head of Business Planning & Financial Control, I have the power to
influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the
next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the
account, which I shall give you. All documents to enable you claim this fund
will be carefully worked out and there is practically no risk involved, the
transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of law, beside U. A. E is porous and anything
goes. If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If
you are interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can
go over the details. Thanking you in advance and May God blesses you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you copy of the
deposit certificate issued to Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your
perusal.
Send your reply to this email address :mrandresayegh@live.com
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr.Andre Sayegh
