MR. DUGBARTEY TIMOTHY.
SG HAMBROS TRUST BANK LTD-UK
REPLY TO EMAIL: mrdugbarteytimothy@yahoo.fr
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Dugbartey Timothy, of SG
Hambros Bank & Trust Limited, U.K. I have a concealed business suggestion
for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client, Brig General Shatt Za-Khan
who was with the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for
18 calendar months, with a value of Fifteen Million United state dollars
only
(us$15,000,000.00M)in my branch.
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war early
this year.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him.
We later found 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 Brig General Shatt Za-Khan did not declare any next
of kin in his official papers including the paperwork 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, Fifteen Million United state
dollars only (us$15,000,000.00M) is still lying in the bank and no one will
ever come forward to claim it.
MY PROBLEM:
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country, upon the
expiration 3 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 to stand
as the next of kin to Brig General Shatt Za-Khan 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
shallcome out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary documentation that will back you up as the next of kin to Brig
General Shatt Za-Khan.
Said attorney will contact you as soon as you express an interest to be part
of this venture. All that is required from you at this stage is that you
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 file in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor 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 share in the ratio of 60% for me,30% for you and 10% for
any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.
For the confidentiality of this transaction you can send your response to
this E-mail address: mrdugbarteytimothy@yahoo.fr
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Dugbartey Timothy.
