MR. Jan Williem De Groenendaal,
City Security and Deposit,
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Jan Williem De Groenendaal a
Manager under Foreign Account Department. I have very one time life
opportunity and a business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war
our client Lt. Gen. Yusuf Araf El-Kadrish who was with the Iraqi forces and
also a very trusted inner GP for EX-President Saddam.
Lt. Gen. Yusuf Araf El-Kadrish had a contract of a fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Fifteen Point Seven Million ($ 15.7m)United
State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity that fall within the heart of the war, several notices were
sent to him, even during the war.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response
came from him. We later find out that Lt. General El-Kadrish along with his
wife, their two only daughters and other close family relatives had been
killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home. After further
investigation it was also discovered that LT. Gen. Yusuf Araf El-Kadrish did
not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work
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 Point Seven million
United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no
One will know of it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws
Of my country at the expiration of 3 years and 6 months the funds will
Revert to the ownership or to the local 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 Lt Gen. Yusuf Araf El-Kadrish I will
change all necessary required contract on your name and you will be legally
receive the money as the beneficiary.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
Shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the
Necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Lt. Gen.
Yusuf Araf El-Kadrish, all that is required from you at this stage is for
you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can
commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney
will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary
approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to
an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this 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. (I only require a very highly secrecy from you for a smooth hand-over
and transfer is these one time life opportunity!) Should you be interested
please send me your full names, private phone/fax if possible and your
current residential address and finally after that I shall provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. (kindly relpy to
citysec@fsmail.net or debt@earthling.net or fax to my Attn: at
+31-847593888)
Kind Regards,
Mr. Jan Williem De Groenendaal.
