Subject: Hello Dear
Business proposal
Greetings to you, with warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and
I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this
contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings
in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance
and the immense benefit it will be to you. After careful consideration with
my children, we resolved to contact you for your most needed assistance in
this manner. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this
contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person
of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you.
My name is Mrs. Nazek Audi Hariri, mother of five, my husband Mr. Rafik Baha
al-din Hariri a very successful businessman and proficient politician in
Lebanon. Though I was involved in some of my husband's business, which was
very vast and successful. My beloved husband was among those killed in the
massive explosion that rocked central Beirut's fashionable seafront
district, on his way back from Lebanon parliament on 14th February. 2005
<<http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/14/beirut.hariri/index.html>>
When my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin by a private security
firm in Holland (Amsterdam) to come forth to claim the consignment with the
Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety deposit, my husband has in their
Vault in his name. I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the safety
deposit with this private security firm, and other documents relating to the
safety deposit with my late husbands consignment .
The safety deposit, which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency (US
Dollars) totaling $86,000,000 (EIGHTY SIX Million US Dollar), which was
generated from cash payments from his business associates. Though I knew my
late husband was politician and the money was reserved for May election
campaign. This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have
decided to have this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential
properties in abroad as well as profitable ventures, now that the US Govt.
has ordered Syria Govt. to leave and not to intervene in any Lebanon affair
and we don’t know what is going to happen, hence we sincerely propose to you
to render us your most needed assistance in this regard. If you agree to
render us your assistance, your role in this project will be to act on my
behalf as a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the funds from
the Security firm.
Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality, a family
associate, who is a diplomat, will protect my family’s interest, and I have
informed him that I am locating one of my husband’s business associates
(you) to handle the funds and pending till the crisis in Lebanon will die
down, the part of services the diplomat is required to render an
assistance to you in claiming the consignments from the terminal of the
security company and to set up a transit domiciliary account in your name in
one of the prime bank he has contacts to carry out the exercise through the
back door.
The purpose of the account is to enable you deposit the funds for further
transfer into your nominated bank For your reliable assistance, we are
offering you 20 % of the funds. I thank you in advance as we anticipate your
assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, I will
forward your contact to the diplomat who will be representing us, and also
give you his contact for both of you to communicate and proceed with the
transaction. He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the
process and I look forward to a long lasting business relationship with you.
As you may understand, due to my husband sensitive position in the present
government, it is safe to contact me via family mail
nazek@hariri-family.com, or nazek-haririfamily.com.
Best Regards.
Nazek Audi Hariri.
