RE: TRANSFER OF=20
=C2=A38,000,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT.
My=20
name is mike Jeffery, and I work in the
International Operation=20
Department in a Bank here in
London.I feels quite safe dealing with you=20
in this
important business. Though, this medium (Internet) has
been=20
greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it
because it still=20
remains the fastest medium of
communication. However, this=20
correspondence is
unofficial and private, and it should be treated as
such.
At first I will like to assure you that this
transaction is 100%=20
risk and trouble free to both
parties. WE WANT TO TRANSFER OUT MONEY=20
FROM OUR BANK
HERE IN LONDON. THE FUND FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN
ORIGIN.=20
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS A FOREIGNER, a
program leader. Until his=20
death, The Late Prime
Minister, Mr. Rafik Hariri, has a huge investment
herein the United Kingdom and all over the world, as a
matter of fact=20
he has the sum of (EIGHT MILLION POUNDS
STERLINGS) in his account here=20
in London which he
deposited as a family valuables. The families do not
know about this deposit. I was on a routine inspection
that I=20
discovered a dormant domiciliary
account with a BALANCE OF (EIGHT=20
MILLION POUNDS
STERLINGS) . On further discreet investigation, I also
discovered that the account holder has passed away
(dead) leaving no=20
beneficiary to the account. The bank
will approve this money to any=20
foreigner because the
former operator of the a/c is a foreigner. I am
certainly sure that nobody will come again for the
claim of this money.=20
A foreigner can only claim this
money with legal claims to the account=20
Holder,
I need your full cooperation in this transaction.I
will=20
provide all necessary information needed inorder
to claim this money.=20
Hoping in God that you will never
let me down now and in future.o.k!=20
