Subject: PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
Dear,
Greetings to you this day, I am writing you urgently for your
cooperation in an issue I need you to handle with me. My name is Mr.
rajiv khan from india. i am an indian american. I am a banker based in the United Kingdom.
I was actually helping a friend Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba an indian american businessman
from the USA transfer some of his money from Iraq during the time
Islamic terrorist thugs murdered people unjustly and destroyed their
properties without any form of pity. Neenus Y. Khoshaba was an
unfortunate victim of this attack, he was Kidnapped and Murdered on May
22, 2005. Before his death, he had traveled to England to deposit the sum of
18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million British Pounds) with barclays bank london which I
once worked for. These were proceeds he made secretly from various oil
deals in Iraq. I had the opportunity of knowing this because I was his
banker.
He also appealed to me to ensure that the funds were safely kept and if
anything should happen to him I should make his fiance his next of
kin.
I made frantic effort to contact any relatives of Mr. Neenus Y.
Khoshaba for the past two months without any success, his fiance died
of shock after hearing of his death. At this point I am contacting you
to act as the next of kin/original beneficiary to Mr. Neenus Y.
Khoshabas fund in the bank because the bank is planning to hold the
funds as "uncleared funds" and thus make it banks money since no one
has come forward to claim it.
I need you to stand as the next of kin so that the funds can be
processed in your name so that it can be transferred to your account. I
cannot do this alone neither can make claims to it myself that is why I
need your assistance.
If you agree to take up this responsibility, then I will facilitate the
process in making you the official beneficiary to the funds and you
will be required to contact the bank to instruct a transfer of the
funds to your account. I want to really appeal to you that as soon as
these funds are transferred to you, you will be trustworthy enough to
keep it safely and also to keep it confidential. If you agree to assist
me in this matter, you will definitely be entitled to 25% of the total
for your participation and we shall use some of the money to charity and help the poor in asia and assist your outfit. send mail to me if you are
interested in this deal.
I await your reply.
Best Regards,
MR rajiv khan
