Subject: GREETINGS TO YOU
From: Mrs. Nazek Audi Hariri.
Greetings to you, with warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and
I hope this message meets you in good time. However strange or surprising
this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any
dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its
importance and the immense benefit it will be to you. After careful
consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you for your most
needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing on your
privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal
to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce
myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. Nazek Audi Hariri, mother of five,
my husband Mr. Rafik Baha al-din Hariri a very successful businessman and
proficient politician in Lebanon. Though I was involved in some of my
husband's business, which was very vast and successful. My beloved husband
was among those killed in the massive explosion that rocked central Beirut's
fashionable seafront district, on his way back from Lebanon parliament on
14th February. 2005

When my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin by a private security
firm in Europe to come forth to claim the consignment with the Certificate
of Deposit and claim a safety deposit my husband has in their Vault in his
name. I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with this
private security firm, and other documents relating to the safety deposit in
a book. The safety deposit, which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency
(US Dollars) totaling $136,000,000 (One Hundred AndThirty Six Million US
Dollar), which was generated from cash payments from his business
associates. Though I knew my late husband was politician and the money was
reserved for May election campaign.
This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to have
this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential properties in
abroad as well as profitable ventures, now that the US Govt. has ordered
Syria Govt. to leave and not to intervene in any Lebanon affair and we
donatet know what is going to happen, hence we sincerely propose to you to
render us your most needed assistance in this regard. If you agree to render
us your assistance, your role in this project will be to act on my behalf as
a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the funds from the
Security firm. Though I believe this transaction should be based on
mutuality, a family associate, who is a diplomat, will protect my family
interest, and I have informed him that I am locating one of my husband
business associates (you) to handle the funds and pending till the crisis in
Lebanon will die down, the part of service s the diplomat is required to
render is to assist you in claiming the consignments from the terminal of
the security company and to set up a transit domiciliary account in your
name in one of the prime bank he has contacts to carry out the exercise
through the back door.
The purpose of the account is to enable you deposit the funds for further
transfer into your nominated bank For your reliable assistance, we are
offering you 20 % of the funds. I thank you in advance as we anticipate your
assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, I will
forward your contact to the diplomat who will be representing us, and also
give you his contact for both of you to communicate and proceed with the
transaction. He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the
process and I look forward to a long lasting business relationship with you.
As you may understand, due to my husband sensitive position in the present
government, it is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax. Please
all your correspondence should be forwarded to diplomat who reside in
London-UK Name: Mr. Tony Brown,Tel: + 44 704 572 2182, Fax: + +44 870 130
9798 Email :tonydiplomat001@yahoo.co.uk and I will like us to keep this way,
for the safety of this transaction. Whether or not you are interested in
assisting us. This will enable us make alternative plans, in the event of
non-interest on your part.
With warm regards,
MRS. NAZEK AUDI HARIRI.
