RE:TRANSFER
OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
My name is Mr.John william
, and 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.o.
k! Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005),
married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and
business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon (1992-
1998 and 2000-2004) before his last resignation from office on October
20, 2004. The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when
explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his
motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel i n the Lebanese capital,

I
WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN 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.
Let me hear from you URGENTLY by Email.
Best Regards,
Mr.John william.
