Subject: SO IMPORTANT INFO
GOOD DAY,
PLEASE I WILL LIKE YOU TO KINDLY GO THROUGH THIS MAIL,
ALSO FOR YOUR IMPORTANT INFORMATION IT IS VERY NECESSARY
TO INVOLVE IN THIS
RE:TRANSFERING OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT BECAUSE OF IT NEED.
I will like to formally introduce myself as Mr William Becker.I work in the
international Operation Department in a Bank here in
London.I feel quite safe dealing with you in
this important business.Though, this medium (Internet)
has been greatly
abused, I choose to reach you through it because it
still remains the
fastest medium of communication. However, this
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% risk
and trouble free to both parties.
WE WANT TO TRANSFER OUT MONEY FROM OUR BANK HERE IN
LONDON. THE FUND
FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN ORIGIN. THE OWNER OF THIS
ACCOUNT IS A
FOREIGNER, a program leader.Until his death,The Late
Prime Minister, Mr.
Rafik Hariri, has a huge investment here in the
United Kingdom and all
over the world, as a matter of fact he has the sum of
(THIRTY SIX MILLION
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS
STERLINGS) in his account
here in London which he deposited as a family
valuables.
The family do not know about this deposit.I was on a
routine
inspection that I discovered a dormant domiciliary
account with a BAL. Of
(THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE
THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGS)
on further discreet investigation, I also discovered
that the account
holder has passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary
to the account. The
bank will approve this money to any 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. A foreigner can
only claim this
money with legal claims to the account Holder,
therefore I need your
cooperation in this transaction. I will provide all
necessary information
needed in order to claim this money.
Hoping in God that you will never let me down now and
in future.ok!
Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February

information

ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I
DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT
THIS MESSAGE
WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW
OURSELVES BEFORE, BUT BE
SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT
YOU BELIEVING
THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO
YOUR ACCOUNT.
