Greetings and Compliments.
I appreciate that this missive will reach you as a surprise, bearing in
Mind the fact that there has been no prior correspondence betwixt us, but your attention is sought so that you study the contents of this letter and appreciate my offer of cooperation between us for immediate mutual benefit of a huge sum, without any risk. Allow me introduce myself, I am Mrs. Rania El Memer, I am originally Somalian but married to a U.A.E National, I am the Director of PRIVATE INVESTMENT BANKING - OSOOL FINANCE and I have before me an opportunity such as I know will never present itself to me again. I intend to make the best use of it.
I have an open draft issued by my company at the request of the late
Sheikh Maktoom bin Rashid al Maktoum (Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the U.A.E)- who died on 4th January 2006, whose account I personally managed, the draft is for the sum of Seventy Five Million U.A.E Dirhams, which is equivalent approximately to Twenty Million in U.S Dollars. I do not know what the draft was meant for but the Sheikh died before I could deliver the Draft to him, and his Trustees have taken inventory of his assets with OSOOL Finance and had left out the Draft, because no body know of the existence of the draft except me.
The Draft is dated 18th December 2005, and is valid for one year, the
draft is cashable at the FIRST GULF Bank in Dubai, I need you believing that you are a sincere, capable and honorable foreigner who will assist me cash this draft, by simply allowing for setting up an account at the FIRST GULF BANK in your name, and allowing me pay into the account this draft.
It will be my duty to make sure the Draft matures and clears into the
account above proposed, while it will be yours to transfer the fund out of the U.A.E and into your country, this is the reason why I need you to open the account directly and in your name, so that when you transfer the fund out into your country there will be no hitch what so ever.
I propose that we work in sincere and open partnership and that we
share this fund equally amongst ourselves.
I only request and for good reason also that you keep this matter in
utmost secrecy and hold it in absolute confidentiality.
I will stop at this time now and await your response.
Thank you.
Mrs. Rania El Memer
