Attention : The Director/Manager/CEO
May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion with you by an informal letter of this sort. It is pertinent that a business of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting between you and us to enable both parties know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of both parties and appropriate shares accordingly. I believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on your country.
Before proceeding futher, I wish to introduce myself properly to your goodself. My name is Engr.Dr.Hua Mark Morris, the administrative officer, working with a DIPLOMATIC FIDUCARY/SECURITY FIRM here in Bangkok Thailand. My duty involves administrative documentation/periodical inspection of deposits in the company.
In the course of one of my daily routines of stock taking, I had noticed that there had been a particular deposit valued at $25million US Dollars sealed up as Pure Gold/Family Treasures in my company that has been dormant for the past 3 years, which no one had since come forth for. To this effect, early month of July, I began making some private investigations to ascertain the beneficiary, nature and other relevant information on the deposited fund.
But sadly and unfornately, I found out that the beneficiary of the deposit is one of our clients late Engr.Abdullah Habeeb Rahman, a Iraqi national and Gold & Diamond Merchant within the South East Asia region, who lost his life prior to the war in Iraq last 2 years. Ever since he died no close relative or family has come forward to claim the fund deposited with us. Upon going through the deposit form as filled, at the time of deposit. The beneficiary did not state or fill out any next of kin. Thus, thereby leaving the deposit dormant till date.
Meanwhile, upon maturity I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address in Iraq but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered that Engr.Abdullah Habeeb's family house in Basra was destroy in an bomb attack . During all my investigations, I was very carefull not to discuss this matter with anybody or with our managment except one of my trusted colleague {the direct fund manager of the company} whom I must involve in this business for the smooth and success of this transaction.
To this regards, I sincerely request for your immediate assistance and co-operation.to enable us use your facilities to claim the said deposit/consignment fund from our company with every legal backing and transfer into a nominated foreign account (in your name) for future investment.
I will like you to provide immediately the name and address that you intend to use for the preparation of the relevant probate documentation that will reperesent you as next of kin/ family associates to Engr. Abdullah Habeeb to achieve the requiste documentation ,we shall employ the service of two independent Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the claim of the inheritance entitlement.
Furthermore, you will be required to act independently as next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Engr. Abdullah Habeeb to claim this consigment funds through any of the our Fiduciary Agents / offshore clearing house in Europe or here in Asia There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately with my private email address below.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country,and also meet with you personally.
This is a sensitive and private business, the knowledge of which should be restricted, therefore do not dicsuss it with a third party. I am relying in my confidence in you having opened up to you, please let me hear from you if this business buys your interest. Awaiting your urgent reply via my E-mail:engr_chukmorris@she.com
