files I discovered that the owner of the account is from Iraq. And several notifications has been sent to an address that wasdiscovered in his banking
iles but no responses and no relations has been coming to claim this fund or no next of kin of this said fund.
The owner of this said account is Mr. Fadi Basem, a foreigner and a senior contractor to SHELL PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT COMPANY here in Nigeria
and he died in Iraq when he traveled to pull out his family from the war in Iraq to Nigeria and his family died a alongside with him
From my investigation no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary. Be informed that this fund
can only be claimed through a legal process and all the document are with me and shall be documented by both parties as regards this transaction.
We will start the first transfer with Six Million [USD6, 000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account.

account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my
arrival to your country for sharing.
