Good Day, Let me start by introducing myself. I am
Parker Green director of operations of Metropolitan
Bank & Trust Co. I have a obscured business suggestion for
you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi
Bassem who was with the Iraqi forces and also business
man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar
months, with a value of Eleven million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notice was sent to him, even during
the war early last year.
Again after the war another notification was sent and
still no response came from him. We later find out
that the Major and his family had been killed during
the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Major Fadi Bassem did not declare any next of
kin in his official papers including the paper work 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, Eleven millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
it. What bothers me most is that according to the
laws of my country at the expiration 4 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 as a foreigner to stand as the next of
kin to Major Fadi Bassem so that you will be able to
receive the funds. WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to
know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an
attorney that will prepare the necessary documents
that will back you up as the next of kin to Major Fadi
Bassem , all that is required from you at this stage
is for you to 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 fill in for claims on your behalf and secure
the necessary approval and letter of probate in your
favour 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 to 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 negotiate our sharing
percentage and agreed on it. Should you be interested
please send me your full names and current
address.
Your earliest response to this letter will
be highly appreciated.Please, reply through my private e-mail address:

Regards,
Parker Green
