Attn Friend.

The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I am making
this
proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person
to
help me realize this project. I am DR JURGEN GERSTNER Head of Private
Wealth
Management Deutsche Bank AG London Winchester House 1 Great Winchester
Street London EC2N 2DB LONDON UNITED KINGDOM. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. In january 2002 I was
attending a
business investment conference In Switzerland and I got introduced to a
reknowned business man Mr Bassam Qubba a top Iraqi Foreign Ministry
Director He engaged my services as an investment banker Deutsche Bank
AG
London and my primary assignment was to spearhead his investment forays
in
the United Kingdom due to the war in his country.

Three months later I invited him to London and under my professional
guidance
and based on my advice he made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for 24
calendar months valued at GBP =A320,320,000.00(Twenty million three
hundred
and twenty thousand Great British Pounds Sterling in my branch due to
the
problem in his country. Upon maturity in 2004, I sent a routine
notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a
reminder and
finally we discovered from the embassy here in london that Mr Bassam
Qubbaa
on the 12th June 2004 aged 60, was assassinated on his way to work in
Baghdad\'s Al-Adhamiya district. On further investigation, I 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 into the account and
discovered
that Mr Bassam Qubbaa did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official
documents,

including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum GBP
=A320,320,000.
00(Twenty million three hundred and twenty thousand Great British
Pounds
Sterling has been floating as unclaimed since 2002 in my bank as all
efforts to
get his relatives have hit the stones . Meanwhile he was doing this
cladenstingly
by virture of his position as a public servant. According to the
British law at the
expiration of 4 (four) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the
British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the four
years will
elapse by the end of 2006. Consequently,my proposal is that i want to
seek
your consent as a foreigner to present you to stand in as the next of
kin to
late Bassam Qubba so that the bank will transfer the money to your
designated
account. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be
carefully
worked out.

I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of
the
deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that the business
is risk
free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for me and for
investment
purpose as I will leave London by the end of the year. The sharing of
the funds
will be based according to agreement within you and I. As soon as i
receive an
acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary steps to
follow and
disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this
proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust i have
bestowed
in you. I think its also necessary you know more about Mr Bassam Qubba,

so kindly visit
