Subject: HELLO DEAR...
Attention.
I am Gadhi Halim, I am the account officer to Late Mr Bill Edward, a national of your country, who had an account with my bank, National Bank of Dubai (NBD) web-site: http://www.nbd.com/ Ras Al-Khaimah Branch in United Arab Emirates,(.U.A.E.) Middle East region of Asia. Do not contact anyone in my bank except me, (confidential Please) My work is to assist you and Mr. Maker in making sure that the transfer is successful which my colegues will not be aware of.
On the 21st of November 2001, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sharjah - Abu-dhabi express way, unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident. Since then I and his lawyer have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by my bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $18.3million U.S dollars(Eighteen million, three hundred thousand dollars).As you may know, any unmoved/untouched account of five years can be decleared unserviceable and will be send into Government treasury according to banking rules.
Conseqently, my bank issued his lawyer Barr. Noel Maker a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next three months. since we have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now. we seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at $18.3million U.S dollars can be paid into your nominated bank account, and then three of us will share the money as follows:-
You will be compensated with 30% as Account Owner, While I and Mr. Noel Maker whom I will introduced to you later on, will take 65%, and the remaining 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
All I require is your honest and cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by email; gadhihalim01@yahoo.com.au to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards,
Gadhi Halim
