Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me, but it is a matter that I am convinced we can solve both, if we work together in harmony. However, I seek for your absolute confidence as I introduce myself to you.My name is Dr. Sani Mohammed, Security deposits Manager, OFFSHORE FINANCIAL SERVICES, Dubai (UAE).
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On November 6, 2001, 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$10,600, 000.00 (Ten million six hundred USdollars only) in my company and I happen to be his account officer before I was moved to my present position recently.
Upon maturity in 2005, as his account officer and as well the chief officer to the Volt; 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 a car bomb in Baghdad during one of his trips to his country Iraq.
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 Deposit paperwork in my company and did not leave any WILL. This sum of US$10,600, 000.00 is still intact and placed under dormant/ unserviceable deposit by my company's management since no one have heard from the owner since 2004. 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. The UAE Government has pass a new financial control law which will give every financial institution authority to interrogate account owners or deposits of above US$5M 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 volt immediately, by end of the year the government will definitely confiscate the money, because my company cannot provide the depositor to explain the source of the money. I cannot directly execute this deal 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 company as Chief officer to theVolt, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the deceased, with the correct information concerning the deposit, 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 local or international laws. 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 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: sanimohammed1696@rixmail.se
Best regards,
Dr. Sani Mohammed
