Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL FROM DUBAI UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
SIR,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is
only a
day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I
am MR ISA RAHMAN MUSA, currently Head of Corporate affairs with a
reputable
bank
here in Dubai -UA.E.
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you
with
the information I am about to reveal to you. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. On November 6, 2000, an
Iraqi
Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM
CORPORATION, MR.
KHALIL AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued
at
US$17,500, 000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars
only) in
my bank and I happen to be his account officer before I was moved to my
present position recently.
Upon maturity in 2003, as his account officer and as well the bank
manger, it
is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but the letter was returned
undelivered.
After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was again
returned
and finally I discovered from his contract employer, Chevron Petroleum
Corporation that Mr. Khalil Al Nasser died as a result of torture in
the hand
of Saddam Hussein(former Iraqi President)during one of his trips to his
country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information to the
Americans.
On further investigation, I discovered that Mr. Al Nasser's family wife
and
two sons died during the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did
not
declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents,
including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not leave any WILL.
This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under
dormant/
unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard
from the
owner since 2003. I wish to let you know that all the investigation I
have
made so far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am the only one
that
have the information.
With the recent change of government in my country and with their
efforts to
support the United Nations in checkmating terrorism aid in the U. A. E.
Before end of this year, the UAE Government will pass a new financial
control
law which will give the government authority to interrogate account
owners of
above $5,000, 000.00 to explain the source of the funds, making sure it
is
not for terrorism support.
If I do not move this money out of the country immediately, by end of
the
year the government will definitely confiscate the money, because my
bank
cannot provide the account owner to explain the source of the money. I
cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner
and
that is why I am contacting you for an assistance.
As the Account Officer to late Al Nasser, coupled with my present
position
and status in the bank as Head of Retail Banking Group, I have the
power to
influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as
the next
of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the
account,
which I shall give you.
All documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked
out and
there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law,
beside
U. A. E is porous and anything goes.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If
you are
interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go
over
the details.
Thanking you in advance and may ALLAH, you. Please, treat with utmost =
confidentiality. I shall send you copy of the deposit certificate
issued to
Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your perusal.
I wait your urgent reply through my private email address:
isa_musa2007@yahoo.co.uk or isa_musa2006@yahoo.co.uk
Regards,
MR ISA RAHMAN MUSA.
