Subject: FRM DR. ROBIN
Office of Auditor General,
CITIBANK,
364 Kensington High St
London W14 8NS
My Dear Good Friend,
Well, my name is Dr. Robin Quest .I'm the Auditor General of CITIBANK 364
Kensington High St London W14 8NS. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On May 20, 1999, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the
BRITISH PETROLUEM CORPORATION Mr. Dara Baraz.Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar
months,valued at US$12.5 (Twelve million five hundred thousand
dollars only) in this bank. Upon maturity in 2001, I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that
Mr. Dara Baraz died as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam
Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq. Onfurther
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that mr Dara Baraz did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$12.5 million have been floating as unclaimed
since 1999 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the
stones.According to the British law at the expiration of 6 (six)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the six years is the end of
November 2005.
Consequently, my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a
foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to
the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your
desi gnated account. All documentsand proves to enable you get this
fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an
order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more
so I are assuring you that the business is risk free involvement. Your
share stays while the rest be for me and for investment
purpose as i will leave London by the end of the year.
The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement within me
and you. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this
message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish
you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to
suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do
not take undue advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you.
PLEASE, APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS
RISK.ENDEAVOR TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERIN
YOUR REPLY TO THIS BUSINESS.
Regards.
Robin Quest.
