Subject: PROJECT MAIL
Atten, {HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL}
(RE: TRANSFER OF (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE
THOUSAND EUROS.)
RE:TRANSFER OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION EUROS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
My name is Mr.James Ballard, and I work in the International Operation
Department in a Bank here in Netherlands.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 THE NETHERLANDS. THE FUND FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN ORIGIN.
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS A FOREIGNER, a program leader. Until his
death,The Late PrimeMinister, Mr. Rafik Hariri,Who has a huge investment
here in the Netherlands and all over the world, as a matter of fact he
has the sum of(THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND
EUROS) in his account here in Holland which he deposited as a family
valuables.The family do not know about this deposit as it was done by
self. 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
EUROS) 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 with all precise documentations, therefore I need your
cooperation in this transaction. I will have 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,He
was a a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon.A 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 in 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 VENTURE THAT CAN CATAPULT
ALL PARTIES TO A NEW LEVEL. 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 via:james_ballard57@yahoo.dk
Yours faithfully,
James Ballard.
AMSTERDAM-NETHERLANDS.
