Subject: Hello there...
Mr.Javed Ahmed Noel
Askari commercial Bank L.T.D
AWT Plaza, The Mall,
Rawalpindi - Pakistan.
08/10/2004
Dear Sir/Madam,
By way of introduction, i am Mr.Javed Ahmed Noel an Official of Askari
commercial Bank Pakistan.I present to you what i would term in my own words
"an oppotunity of a life time".
On June 6, 2000,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Pakistan
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr.Swuen Kuang made a numbered
time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
S$10,200,000.00,(Ten Million, two hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I personally sent a routine notification to his forward! ing
address,but got no reply. After a month, i still sent a reminder as our
standard protocol and finally i discovered from his contract employers, the
National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Swuen Kuang died from an automobile
accident.On further investigation, i found out that he died without making a
WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation's as part of our standard protocols
and discovered that Mr.Swuen Kuang did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of
US$10,200,000.00 till this moment i write you this mail, has carefully been
fixed in my bank for safe keeping. No one will ever come forward to claim
it. According to Asian Law(s) / pakistanian law(s) to be precise, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
&! nbsp; Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a For eigner
to stand in as the owner of the money which was fixed deposited in my bank.
I am writing you because I as a public servant,i cannot operate a foreign
account.I want to present you as the owner of the funds so you can be able
to claim them with the help of my Attorney. This is simple.I will like you
to provide in due course of our proposed interactions your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will
put you in place as the beneficiary of the funds.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and
20% for you. The paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney
and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email and upon your
response,I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you understand the transaction. I at this point would advice
! you to please instruct me on how best to contact you if you do in anyway
feel this transaction could be jepoadised in this recieving mail box, thus
you could provide me with an alernative one which would be assumed to be
more secure. Please observe utmost
confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in real estate within your country. Due to the nature of
confidentiality in this transaction our communication can only be via email
and fax mostly.
Thanks and my regards.
Mr.Javed Ahmed Noel
Branch Manager.
