From: "nazikhariri@terra.es" <nazikhariri@terra.es>
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 17:05:17 +0200 (MEST)
Subject: Dear Friend
FROM: Mrs. Nazek Audi Hariri.
Greetings to you, with warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,
and I hope this fax/email meets you in good time. However strange or
surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally
or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due
consideration of its importance and the immense benefit it will be to you.
After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you
for your most needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for
infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I
make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost
I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. Nazek Audi
Hariri, mother of five, my husband Mr. Rafik Baha al-din Hariri a very
successful businessman and proficient politician in Lebanon. Though I
was involved in some of my husband's business, which was very vast and
successful. My beloved husband was among those killed in the massive
explosion that rocked central Beirut's fashionable seafront district, on
his way back from Lebanon parliament on 14th February 2005
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/14/beirut.hariri/index.html
When my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin by a private
security firm in Europe to come forth to claim the consignment with the
Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety deposit my husband has in their
Vault in his name. I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the safety
deposit with this private security firm, and other documents relating
to the safety deposit in a book. The safety deposit, which is a trunk,
is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars) totaling $46,000,000.00
(Forty Six Million US Dollar), which was generated from cash payments from
his business associates. Though I knew my late husband was politician
and the money was reserved for May election campaign.
This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to
have this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential
properties in abroad as well as profitable ventures, now that the US Govt.
has ordered Syria Govt. to leave and not to intervene in any Lebanon
affair and and Isreal is bombing south lebanon were we are coming from and
we don’t know what is going to happen, hence we sincerely propose to
you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard. If you
agree to render us your assistance, your role in this project will be to
act on my behalf as a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing
the funds from the Security firm. Though I believe this transaction
should be based on mutuality, a family associate, who is a diplomat, will
protect my family interest, and I have informed him that I am
locating one of my husband business associates (you) to handle the funds
and pending till the crisis in Lebanon will die down, the part of
services the diplomat is required to render is to assist you in claiming the
consignments from the terminal of the security company and to setll up
a transit domiciliary account in your name in one of the prime bank he
has contacts to carry out the exercise through the back door.
The purpose of the account is to enable you deposit the funds for
further transfer into your nominated bank For your reliable assistance, we
are offering you 30 % of the funds. I thank you in advance as we
anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from
you, I will forward your contact to the diplomat who will be
representing us, and also give you his contact for both of you to communicate and
proceed with the transaction. He will be working with you for a mutual
conclusion of the process and I look forward to a long lasting business
relationship with you. As you may understand, due to my husband
sensitive position in the present government, it is not safe to communicate
with me via phone or fax. Please all your correspondence should be
forwarded to our associate who reside in London England Name: Mr. Paul Owen
Tel: +44-707-708-8039,Fax:+44-870-478-3524 Email: paulowen12@hotmail.com
and I will like us to keep this way, for the safety of this
transaction. Whether or not you are interested in assisting us. This will enable
us make alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.
With warm regards,
MRS. NAZEK AUDI HARIRI.
