Dear Friend,
Firstly, i would like to apologize to you, should my letter in any way, invade your personal privacy. I hope you can bear with me and understand, the urgency of the matter at hand compelled me to do this, in my seeking for your assist to help me in an important business transaction.
I need your urgent assistance in transfering abroad some money out of the United Arabs Emirates.I work with a reputable banking institute over here in {U.A.E}, and want to transfer urgently to over-seas the sum of sixty seven million eight hundred thousands united states dollars($67,800,000.00), from my bank here in United Arabs Emirates.I depend on you to treat as strictly confidential and personal, every matter relating to this business.
I am Mr. Saheed Manso the external auditor of National Bank Of Dubai . During the course of my auditing, i discovered an unclaimed fund in an account opened with the bank in 1985. And since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again.
After going through some files in the records office, i discovered that the owner of the account died without appointing any next of kin, hence the money is floating and, if I do not remit this money out urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. Because the account has been dormant for more than 10years now.
The owner of this account is Mr. Fernando Carlos, a foreigner and an industrialist who died in 1993. Until now no other person(s) knows about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account.
As such this account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Mr. Fernando Carlos, until his death was the owner of Oriental Diamond Company, in South-Africa.
However, if you are interested in this business, send your reply to my alternative email address for security purpose,
{saeed0278@financesource.com} then we will start the transfer immidiatly with out much delay.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner, because this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid international foreign "Arrangement", but could only be approved to any foreigner with valid international credentials: passport or drivers license and foreign account, because this sum is in U.S. dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Fernando Carlos is a foreigner too, thus the money could only be approved into a foreign account.
However, knowing all this, we will reach a binding agreement in this regard. As a matter of urgency,I will inform you on the next step to be taken, while you send your private telephone and fax number, including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.If you are unable to send me details of your present account, you can open a new account with {o' level of credit} as soon as possible for this business.
And once you have finish with the requirements, I will introduce you to the bank Attorney who will file an aplication on your behave as the benefide next of kin,All i need is your strong assurance that you will never let me down.
With my influence and position in the bank we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account withen 21 working days,and you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for the sharing.
To prove the authenticity of the business, I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account. With appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries, foreign exchange departments, embassy and Board of Internal Revenue services.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for offsetting any expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. If you require any clarification, kindly feel free to inform me.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
Saheed Manso.
