Malaysia.
Attn: Sir/Madam,
TRANSFER OF (US$2,800,000.00) TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS.
I am Mr. Adil Hafeez,Bank Manager of one of the top must banks here in Malaysia.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6th 2000,a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation,Lawrence Hester,made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months,valued at US$2,800,000.00 (Two Million Eight Hundred Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After
a month,I sent a reminder and finally discovered from his contract employers-the Chinese
Solid Minerals Corporation-that Mr.Lawrence Hester died from an auto accident.On further
investigation,I found out that he died without a WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of
kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Mr.Lawrence Hester did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paper
work in my Bank.This sum of US$2,800,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever come
forward to claim it. According to the Laws of Malaysia,at the expiration of 6 (six) years,the
money will revert to the ownership of the Malaysian Government if nobody applies to claim
the fund.
Consequently,my proposal is,that I will like you as a foreign partner to stand in as the
next of kin to late Mr.Lawrence Hester so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get
into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple,I will like you to provide
immediately your full names and address so that an Attorney will prepare the necessary
documentation,which will perfectly put you in place as the next of kin to the deceased.
A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer
of this Fund into your account as the beneficiary/next of kin.This fund will be remitted into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 80% to me and 20% to you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by an Attorney
and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.If you are interested,please reply immediately.And upon your response,I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand
this transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.Also
be informed,that you are to observe with utmost confidentiality of this transaction,bearing in
mind that the prerequisite for success in this deal is the confidetiality observed.
Please be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us,
because I shall require your assistance to invest my share of the fund in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Adil Hafeez
