Hello,
My name is DR. David Herne, 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.I Want to TRANSFER 36,759,000.00 MILLION
POUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE
THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING}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%
Legal 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 STERLING)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 as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
DR.David Herne
