Subject: Business Partern Needed.
Attention:
I am Mr. Abdul Hameed Mahmood , I have urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.A British Oil consultant and contractor with
the Kruger Gold Company,Mr. Raymond Beck made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve
Million United State Dollars in my branch. Upon maturity.
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Kruger Gold Company that Mr. Raymond Beck died
in a plane crash along with his wife in a plain crash along with his
wife in Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air crash.(for more information about
this crash and person you can contact this website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigati found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US$12,760,000.00 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
Laws of country, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will
revert to Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this
old man's labor 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 the attorney will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of
kin.We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/ administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in
any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me
and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.If you
are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address
above.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please
send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.Awaiting your
urgent reply via my confidential email address:(abdul76@omaninfo.com)
Regards.
Mr. Abdul Hameed Mahmood
