Subject: hello
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Allen McCarty, Financial Controller of Guardian Financial Services, U.K. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client, Brig. General Majeed El-Mousa who was with the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Fifteen Million United state dollars only (US$15,000,000.00M)in my branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that the General and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also discovered that Brig. General Majeed El-Mousa did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paperwork of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So, Fifteen Million United state dollars only (US$15,000,000.00M) is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
MY PROBLEM:
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country, upon the expiration 3 years, the funds will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you to stand as the next of kin to Brig. General Majeed El-Mousa so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shallcome out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary documentation that will back you up as the next of kin to Brig. General Majeed El-Mousa. Said attorney will contact you as soon as you express an interest to be part of this venture.
All that is required from you at this stage is that you provide me with your Full Names, Address and telephone number so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account,we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Allen McCarty.
