Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Robin Quest 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$32,200,000.00 (Thirty two Million two 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 hiscontract 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. On further 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$32,200,000.00 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 documents and 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 NUMBER IN YOUR
REPLY TO THIS BUSINESS.
Regards.
Robin Quest
