Subject: I await your urgent response,
Dear Friend,
IMPERATIVE AND PRIVATE.
I am contacting you on a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a
deceased account.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the
end of the day. We decided to contact you due to
the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION: We discovered an abandoned sum of £10.000, 000, 00 (Ten-
Millions British Pounds) in an account that Belongs to one of our client
Hate m Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and
also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with
a value of Twenty Six millions British Pounds only in my branch. Upon
maturity several notices were sent to him, even in the first quarter of this
year.
Again another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We
later found out that the Deputy Governor has been assassinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a proof and verification of the news about his death:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Hatem Kamil Abdul
Fatah did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he
was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in
my bank. So, £10. 000, 000, 00 is still lying in my bank and no one will
ever come forward to claim it. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you
is that I will like you as a neutral person to stand in as the next of kin
to Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that you will be able to receive his funds
with my aid as the insider. We cannot release the fund from his account
unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to
have you stand as a
next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked
out by us for the funds (£10.000, 000, 00) to be released in your favor as
the beneficiary's next of kin. It may Interest you to know that we have
secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of
deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance
of our mutual Business Endeavor by furnishing me with the following;
Your name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the
appropriate Departments for necessary approvals in your favor before the
transfer can be made. We shall be compensating you with 40%on final
conclusion
of this project, while the rest shall be for us. If this proposal is
acceptable
by you, please response immediately, I await your urgent response, you
can reach me this number: +44-7031957880, email address;
david_smith50s@myway.com
Best regards,
Mr. David Smith
