Dear Sir,
Greetings to you and your loved ones,I am MOTALLEB GHAFFARI HOSSEIN and I have a business suggestion for you.On the 26th day of december 2003,a sudden earthquake occured in southeastern iran(BAM) and claimed the lives of over thirty thousand people and amongst the victims was my fiftysix-year old father Mr GHAFFARI HOSSEIN,a very sucessful and wealthy citizen of IRAN,before his death,he had occupied different governmental positions in IRAN and this enabled him to
acquire a lot of wealth by means of both legal and illegal ways.However,before his death, he had
deposited $15,000,000 (fifteen million united states dollars) HANG SENG BANK,in HONG KONG ,but unfortunately,he failed to indicate his next of kin simply because he did not envisage his untimly death,However,one of the banks officials who has been a very close friend to my father before his death secretly notified me about the funds stating that if we do not find a way to transfer these funds from hong kong very soon,the funds would be seized by the HONG KONG government,now i have a big prolem confronting me because after my father's death,all his properties were seized by the government of IRAN becuse they found out that he had embezzled a lot of money while he was in the government and this is the reason why i can not arrange for the funds to be transfered to IRAN because this would get me into serious trouble as the
funds would be seized, and i would stand the chance of facing a jail term,so this is where you have come into the picture,Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my late father so that you will be able to receive the funds,i just want you to stand as the next of kin to my late father,so that we could
transfer the funds out of HONG KONG.
However,i want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my late father, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence with the paper work.After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor to transfer the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter
as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents,and the credit officer who informed me about the funds have agreed to help me transfer the funds as soon as i get a suitable bank account where these funds would be remmitted into.Please endeavor to observe utmostdiscretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transfered to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me and the banker, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please notify me immediately via email(motalleb_gf@fastermail.com) and I will provide you with more details about myself, and how we would carry out this transaction peacefully
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ghaffari
