Subject: PLEASE CONSIDER THIS OFFER
Greetings from Dubai,
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. Ali
Raza Khan, currently Head of Coporate affairs with a
reputable bank here in U. A. 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. jack farrer powell 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
employers, Chevron Petroleum Corporation that Mr.jack
farrer powell 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. jack farrer
powell 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. By end of
this year, the government will pass a new financial
control law which will give the government authorityto
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
jack farrer powell , 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 God bless you.
Please,treat with utmost confidentiality . I shall
send his last statement of account issued to Al Nasser
when the deposit was made for your perusal. I wait
your urgent response at my
confidential email id at (ali_razakhan102).
Regards,
Mr. Ali Raza Khan.
