Subject: RE:AS THE BENEFICARY
Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me start by introducing myself to you. I am Mr. Jardine
Graeme, credit
officer of the Shigaginsumito Asia Bank, Ltd.I have a
concealed and
interesting business suggestion for
you,which i feel you will appreciate. Before the U.S and
Iraqi led war,
our
client General.
Yuusuf Ibrahiim who was with the Iraqi forces and also a
business man,
made
a numbered of fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of
Twenty
Six Million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$26,500.000.00)
only in my
branch.
Upon maturity, several notices were sent to him, even during
the war
and
after the war, another notification was sent and still no
response came
from
him. We later find 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
Gen.Yuusuf
Ibrahiim
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including the
paper
work of his bank deposit(except those that died with him,in
the bomb
blast).
And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office
that no
one
except me knew of his deposit in this bank. So, Twenty Six
Million,
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 of three years, the funds will revert to
the
ownership of
the Hong Kong 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 Gen. Yuusuf
Ibrahiim 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
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 Gen.
Yuusuf
Ibrahiim, all that is required from you at this stage is for
you to
provide
me with your Full Names and Address as you would like them
to appear in the documentation. After you have been made the
next of
kin,
the attorney will also file for claims on your behalf and
secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for
the movement
of
the funds.
There is no risk involved at all in this 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, we shall share in the
ratio of
60% for
me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the
course of
this
operation. Should you be interested, please contact me via
strictly,
as I am not fluent in English and I would
like all communication to be via email. As soon as I get
your response,
I
will provide you with more details of this operation. Your
earliest
response
to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Jardine Graeme
