Urgent and Confidential Business Proposal
I am ALHAJI AZIZ ABDUL, Bank manager of Abu Dhabi National Bank of Abu Dhabi,
Abu Dhabi branch, U.A.E; and for reasons which will become obvious to you
as read you on, I obtained your address particulars from an Internetaddress
listing. Please exercise some patience and read through my message. THIS
IS NOT A SPAM MAIL!
I have very urgent and confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6th 1998, an Oil
Consultant/Contractor with the U.A.E National
Petrleum Corporation, Mr. Ahmed Youseff Mustafa ,
a national of Iraq, made a numbered time ( fixed)
deposit for 12 calendar months, value
USD10,000,000.00 in my branch.
On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and
finally, his contract employers, the U.A.E National Petroleum Corporatio(
UAENPC) wrote to inform us that Mr. A Y Mustafa died from an automobile
crash; that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin through the Iraqi embassy were fruitless. At first I was surprised
that I did not recieve much official cooperation in my inquiries in order
to trace his next of kin in Iraq, and inform them about Mr. Mustafaís deposit
of USD10m plus accrued interest.
I therefore made further investigations and
discovered that Mr. Mustafa had actively opposed the
Government of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, and
was consequently driven into exile. Being an Oil
Expert,he subsequently obtained a job with the UAENPC,
and settled in U.A.E. Thereafter, he walked into my
Office to make the aforementioned deposit of
USD10m. He did not declare any kin in his application
paperwork, contrary to laid down procedures, and when
I asked him he informed me that he wished it so. I accepted his application
because banks are conservative and will always honour a customer wishes,
especially high networth customers.
No one knows the source of his money because
apparently the time frame of his employment with
the UAENPC does indeed preclude such a large amount of
money. It can be assumed that he brought his money
over from Iraq, but that is open to speculation.
However, the point is that his employers are not
aware of this money and therefore it can be safely
assumed that no one will ever come forward to claim
this money. This money total USD10m ( inclusive
of accrued interests) is still sitting in my Bank in
the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one will ever come
forward to claim it now, and according to UNITED ARAB EMIRATE
law, after 5 years, the money will automatically revert
to the Government Treasury if the Account
owner is a foreigner, is certified dead , and there is
no valid claim. This indeed, is the situation.
My proposal therefore is that I am looking for a
foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to
Mr. Mustafa. It is not necessary to be a blood
relation to Mr.mustafa, nor have the same name. It is not also
necessary to come from the same Country.
I have worked out the modalities to achieve my aim of
appointing a next of kin, and therefore also by this means
transfer this money total USD10m abroad for us to
share.
The method of achieving the objective of
transferring this money abroad is a completely legal
and proper way and it is simple. I intend to use an Attorney
(representing you as BENEFICIARY) to execute a series
of affidavits in support of your claim. These will be
approved. The money transfer paperwork itself will include a
certificate of origin so that the receiving bank
does not ask questions or refuse the money as money
laundering. Also, the paperwork will include proper
certification that the funds being transferred are
from non criminal sources. In short this wil be a
proper and legal money transfer and there is no
risk! I will have to process the initial paperwork to
obtain approval from the Probate Registry ( Ministry
of Justice ) to obtain the Letter of Administration
empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the
Estate of Mr.mustafa.
If you therefore agree to be the official
Beneficiary, then please note that you will not be
required to sign any Money Transfer Documents ( my Attorney will
do all (that), you will not be required to come to
U.A.E Only the following is required from you:
(1)Your full name and address
(2)Your telephone and fax number
Once you send me the requested information as stated
above, I will initiate the processing of the transfer
and in about 14 working days the money total USD10m will
be in your nominated bank account for us to share.
the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you.
This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without
any problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me
the above requested information, I will give you my
complete address, including phone/ fax etc and
any further clarifications you may require.
I want you to reply me through my alternative email
address:azizabdul2000@mail2world.com
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
Yours truly
ALH. AZIZ ABDUL
