Subject: GET BACK TO ME (From Mr. Abdulla)
From the Desk of Mr. Abdulla Ishaq
Manager National Bank of Dubai,
Jumeira Branch,Jumeira Beach Road,
Opposite to Mercato Mall
United Arab Emirates
E-mail: abdushaq_ae@yahoo.com
Attn; Dear,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not =
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to =
it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your =
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies in bringing this message of =
goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any =
pains. I managed to get your contact details through the Internet Business =
Directory myself. Time is of the importance and I am desperately looking for =
a person to assist me in this confidential business.
My name is Mr. Abdulla Ishaq, I am the humble Manager of National Bank of =
Dubai, Jumeira Beach Road Branch. Let me assure you of the originality of =
the current one you are reading. during a recent call over of our branch =
financial books by our Internal Auditors and my goodself, I discovered a =
Fixed Deposit account that was dormant for up to 5 years. The tenured sum in =
the account is a total of Twelve Million, Five Hundred and Eighty Thousand =
United States Dollars ($12,580,000.00). The actual principal sum is Twelve =
Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000), while accrued interest =
over the years amount to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000.00).
The above mentioned Time Deposit Account belongs to one Mr. Neal Walker, a =
customer now deceased. We discovered that a plane crash occurred way back On =
October 31, 1999. Involving an Egyptian Boeing 767 Flight 990 in the United =
States. His family including Wife and Daughter were unfortunately on board =
the aircraft too. You can confirm it yourself via the website below: =

Under normal banking regulations obtainable throughout the world, a customer =
at the initial stage of completing account opening documentation is required =
to provide the name(s) of his /her next of kin. This is the norm, because of =
unforeseen events such as permanent physical disability, or even death. In =
this case, the late Mr. Neal Walker=92s next of kin was first, his daughter, =
and then his wife. In his Fixed Deposit Account data, I noticed again, that =
he prefers online banking correspondence, rather than being physically =
present in the branch. Under normal circumstance, customers send in their =
instruction on or before the maturity period of investments of this nature, =
but in cases whereby there is a delay in receiving such instructions, the =
bank uses its discretion to roll over such investment pending the receipt of =
an instruction stating otherwise from the customer.
In this case therefore, when Mr. Neal=92s =93rollover or liquidate my =
investment instruction=94 was not received by officials in our operations =
department, the investment was continuously rolled over up to the time I =
noticed its peculiarity.
There is a law in the United Arab Emirates that stipulates remitting any =
amount that stands as unclaimed after eight years from the date of demise of =
a customer, in cases where provision has not been made for a next of kin by =
the account holder. Such funds are termed as unclaimed funds by the bank to =
the emirates treasury account. In this case, it is not that there isn=92t any =
next kin, but because they are both deceased. The emirates you must =
understand has a peculiar financial system, whereby there is freedom in the =
transfer of funds, tax exemption, and a very liberal system at the way funds =
are brought into and moved out of the country without attracting undue =
attention from Government regulatory agencies.
These it is believed can go a long way at attracting foreign capital into the =
country.
I have taken my time to explain to you the intricacies associated with this =
transaction, so that you may be able to compare notes with what you might =
have previously received from impersonators. And above all, to give you the =
needed feeling of mutual confidence needed to for us to conclude this =
transaction, that I believe will help both of us achieve financial buoyancy =
in a very short while. This is what I am proposing:
(1)
In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of Twelve Million, Five =
Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars ($12,580,000.00) as unclaimed funds to =
the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds most be claimed =
immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. Neal Walker=92s partner.
(2)
The stated sum can only be transferred to a designated account that will be =
provided by Mr. walker=92s partner. Full name, address and other details must =
also be furnished to the bank for ease in processing necessary documents. =
This details you will provide for me to commence anchor the transaction.
(3)
The Bank=92s Attorney/Legal Secretary shall prepare all necessary documents =
relating to the transfer of ownership. A sworn affidavit empowering you as =
the next of kin to the deceased and a probate administration document shall =
be served the bank after being duely notarized. This will serve as a legal =
document backing this claim.
(4)
You will be required to provide an account and its details to our bank for =
the said funds to be transferred, as you shall then be regarded as the next =
of kin to the deceased. This information I will need you to urgently provide. =
(5)
Note: that the operations staff charged with affecting the transfer are all =
my subordinates in the branch, while the responsibility of authorizing =
transactions of this nature falls on my shoulder as the branch manager.
I am a meticulous, fair and rational individual when it comes to the area of =
sharing proceeds. Therefore I am willing to offer you 40% of the total sum to =
be transferred. The remaining 60% shall be utilized in-house. I believe this =
is equitable enough.
Finally, I can assure you that the above proposed transaction is fool proof, =
considering the fact that I am the branch manager who shall authorize the =
transfer, and again, since we shall ensure that we fulfill all the bank=92s =
requirements relating to transactions of this manner. Therefore I can =
guarantee you that you shall not be liable to exposure in anyway imaginable. =
I shall need to be able trust you, as much as you will need to do the same =
about me.
Therefore, I shall advice you to Kindly reply my email, depicting acceptance =
in good faith of my proposal. Upon receipt of your reply, I shall furnish =
you with relevant documents that will help guide and ensure your optimum =
understanding of the above stated transaction. Additionally, I shall require =
you to forward to me your private telephone and fax numbers for ease of =
communication.
I am sure that I need not state that the foregoing requires utmost =
confidentiality.
Thank you.
Awaiting your reply via my personal email.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Abdulla
