Atten,
RE:TRANSFER OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
My name is dr joseph benjamin, 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
hugeinvestment here in the United Kingdom and all over theworld, 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, for more information please log on
to(http://www.hariri.info)
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.
Regards,
dr joseph benjamin.
