Subject: TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
From, Dr Abdul Mohammed,Staff, Bill and Exchange Manager,Foreign Remittance Dept.National Bank Of Abu Dhabi
United Arab Emirates.
My dear,
With good purpose of heart, I write to seek for your co-operation and assistance to secure a financial deposit made by one of our late customers. In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $21 million US dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2004 in an Auto crash that claimed his life and his family.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next-of-kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and alongside with him at the crash leaving nobody behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to contact you with this proposal, so that you will be presented as the next of kin to the dead customer, for the release of the money to you as the next-of-kin or relation to the deceased and also for safety and subsequent disbursement between you and I, since no body is coming forth and I don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
According to our banking policies and guideline here this stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will automatically be transferred into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and Emirates cannot stand as next-of-kin to a foreigner.
However, your compensation for this noble assistance will be negotiated upon your acceptance to help me as a foreign partner, since you are to provide an account for the claim. Meanwhile, 10% will be set aside for reimbursement of any expenses made by you and me during the curse of the transaction.
Thereafter I will visit your Country after the money is transferred to your account for disbursement according to the percentages agreed. To enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, after the details explanations, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next-of-kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easier and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted for you.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer and the file of the fund is under my desk, this can just be done within 7 or 8 working days.
You should get back to me immediately as soon as you receive this mail. drabdulmohammed@yahoo.comHoping to hear from you urgently.
Yours sincerely,
Dr.Abdul Mohammed,Bill and Exchange Manager,
National Bank of Abu Dhabi ,
United Arab Emirates.
