Dear Sir,
My writing you this letter is necessitated by my
innermost desire to seek your assistance in a
business that requires high confidentaility and trust.
Before I proceed, I must let you know that it
would be difficult for you to beleive this offer
looking critically the rate of bad happenings all
over the world. Nowadays, it is hard to
differentiate between the good and the bad.
But it should be clear to you that \"not all that
glitter is gold\".
I am Dr.Samuel Thabo, supervisor for customers services
with NED Bank for eight years now.I have been managing
and monitoring a customer\'s account worth USD36.4M{Thirty
six Million, four hundred thousand United States Dollars}.
The customer who is an expatriate from Iraq, Mr.Nazral
Ali,ran away from Iraq and settled down here as a
political refugee,but does not have a trace of his
family because the Dictator Sadam Hussein of Iraq
eliminated all his family members immediately he ran
away as an opposition to Sadam\'s government. Mr.Nazral
Ali is now late and nobody has come forward for any
claim of his money in our custody since three years
now after his death.
I hereby seek your cooperation and compromise with
me, because I am in a position to make every necessary
changes to your name as the appropriate beneficiary
and a relation to Mr.Nazral Ali,and this money will be
moved to your custody pending my arrival to your
country to open an account and lodge my share. We could
go into investment negotiation based on your advice.For
your involvement, I suggest we share the money 85% for
me and 15% for you. Nevertheless,I assure you of every
authenticity and risk-free of this business proposal.
You will however be reqiured to furnish me with your
private tel and fax number for easy communication. Also,
send me your full name and company/contact address to
enable me process an application for claim for the
release of this fund to your custody. As well, your
account details is also needed.
Please,treat with absolute maturity,reservation and
kindness even if you are not interested to work with
me,waiting to hear from you soonest.
Hold my dealings in strict confidence.
