(RE: TRANSFER OF (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGS)
RE: TRANSFER OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT.
My name is Mr.Benjamin Johnson 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, 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 CONTACTED YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT
LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
Best Regards,
Mr. Benjamin Johnson.
