Subject: DEAR FRIEND,
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr David Lopez. Executive Director of one of the appex bank.
An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, this is
valued to Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war,
three years ago (2003). Again after the war another
notification was sent and still no response came from
him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his
family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that
hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil
well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Haider Hanoon did not declare any next of kin in
his official papers including the paper work of his
bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time
he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, Seventeen million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my
bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me is that according to the laws of my
country at the expiration five years six months the
funds will revert to the ownership of the Government
if nobody applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of
kin in a position to instruct the BANK to release the
deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon
receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the
money with you in half. That is: I will simply
nominate you as the next of kin and have them release
the deposit to you. We share the percentange 50/50. I
would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to
me, but that would have drawn a straight line in my
involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you that
I could have the deposit released to you within a few
days. I will simply inform the bank of the final
closing of the file relating to Haider Hanoon I will
then officially communicate with my Bank and instruct
them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is
done. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.
I ask that if you find no interest in this project
that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do
not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of
no appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever
contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do
not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but
people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking
sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not
find against good conscience, this may be hard for you
to understand, but the dynamics of my industry
dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities
only come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let
this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in
total control of my destiny.
These chances wont passme by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if youwill not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and
it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated
the risks and the only risk I have here is from you
refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am
the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune
has blessed you with a name that has planted you into
the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the
blessing.
If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this
process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you
that should you contact me via official channels; I
will deny knowing you and about this project. I
repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my
official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me
through my official email account. Contact me only
through the numbers I will provide for you and also
through the email account that i will provide therein
in this email.
Further more be informed that the fact that you are a
foreigner give you the privilege to stand in as my
deceased client beneficiary as my deceased client had
no relation all his family died with him during the
war and I can not use my relation because its not
accepted here . Also I am very confident that we will
be able to establish the trust that is needed to
complete this deal and all that I need from the time
been is your willingness and commitment so that we can
end this in the nest one weeks.
What you need to understand about this transaction is
that I will make sure that it passes through all
international banking laws regards to retaining the
service of my Attorney to give the transaction the
proper documentation that is required to perfect the
finishing. Your only obligation in this transaction
will be to set up two offshore accounts that can
accommodate these funds and I will give you more light
later once you agree to partner with me.
Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will
pass through international banking laws and all
documents related to this transaction will be sent to
you by post for your perusal and trust.
I do not want any direct link between you and me. My
official lines are not secure lines as they are
periodically monitored to assess our level of customer
care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy.
Please observe this instruction religiously. Please,
again, note I am a family man, I have wife and
children. I send you this mail not without a measure
of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within
me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that
success and riches never come easy or on a platter of
gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my
private banking clients.
Do not betray my confidence.If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting,soon.
Should you be interested I will prefer you toreach me on the email address below.E-mail:mrdavidlopez@excite.com
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
I await your response.
Mr.David Lopez.
