Subject: hello
Dear Sir/madam
I was checking through an economic mailing list
belonging to a group of personal and business gazette magazine. I was
really amazed and fascinated to have noticed that the new updated
database has increased with new interesting members.
Since, you have
been listed in the database; I will make the first initiative by
introducing myself to you. My name is Dr Ken Roland , a retired chief
economist and also financial adviser of various world and business
leaders in the field of project management, account management etc.
During my years as chief economist and a consultant, I have made sure
to bring up the best of me in my field of play. My last contract was
with the just passed away Lebanese Prime Minister, Mr Rafik Hariri, who
passed away in early days of February.
During my association with
him, we did undertake a lot of projects which I was the main pillar
behind the facilitation and was also responsible for all the design
works in all projects that, I did initiate were successfully completed
beyond schedule.
But there was one project left behind completion
which was the Mineral Exploration project for a grant to foreign
investor, which his Excellency and I was the only individual who new
about the existence of the projects. This was a project to attract and
encourage new business opportunity for employment and growth in the
country.
Before the beginning of the project, his Excellency
allocated funds needed for the completion of the project from start to
finish and was located in an account which I and his Excellency were
the only had full control access to the funds in the account. As you
know from what was said about Mr. Hariri, he was a very wealthy
businessman and did what was needed of him as a father, leader and
citizen of Lebanon.
As a matter of fact, since the death of his
Excellency the project has come to a halt and the funds are still in
the custody of the bank, which my intention is to get these funds out
of the said bank account.
All attempts, I have done to reimbursed the
money in the account of the family have proved futile because knowing
my involvement with his Excellency and the project would involve me
and as such we need an independent person to apply for the loan (Note
that this grant is not repayable).
At this moment, the funds are
located in another account in Europe, where after been approved the
payment would be made from European. But what I need from you now is
that, if you owe a company or you are an investor willing to invest in
Lebanon with a bank account that can allow large transfer, and then
these funds can be directed to your account as a grant. The most
interesting thing about this, is that the bank would contact me to
approve the grant
I must stress that, I am a very busy man and would
not tolerate only unserious and reliable person to take up this
proposal,
Do reply to my via my private email box: Kenroland77@swissmail.net

Thanks
Dr Ken Roland
