Subject: Business Proposal
Dear Friend,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people
meet and become great friends and business partners.
I am Mr. Abdulla Ishaq currently Head of Corporate affairs in NATIONAL BANK OF DUBAI here in
U.A.E. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the
information I am about to reveal to you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On November 6, 2000, an
Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. KHALIL
AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$17,500,000.00
(Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his
account officer before I was moved to my present position recently. Upon maturity in 2003,
as his account officer and as well the bank manger, it is my duty to notify him on the
maturity date so I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but the letter was
returned undelivered.
After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was again returned and finally I
discovered from his contract employers, Chevron Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Khalil Al
Nasser died as a result of torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President)
during one of his trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information to the
Americans.
On further investigation, I discovered that Mr. Al Nasser’s family wife and two sons died
during the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did not declare any next of kin or
relation in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and
did not leave any WILL.
This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under dormant/unserviceable
account by my bank management since no one have heard from the owner since 2003. I wish to
let you know that all the investigation I have made so far, my bank management is not aware
of it, I am the only one that have the information.With the recent change of government in
my country and with their efforts to support the United Nations in checkmating terrorism aid
in the U. A. E. By end of this year, the government will pass a new financial control law
which will give the government authority to interrogate account owners of above
$5,000,000.00 to explain the source of the funds, making sure it is not for terrorism
support.
If I do not move this money out of the country immediately, by end of the year the
government will definitely confiscate the money, because my bank cannot provide the account
owner to explain the source of the money.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I
am contacting you for an assistance.
As the Account Officer to late Al Nasser, coupled with my present position and status in the
bank as Head of Retail Banking Group, I have the power to influence the release of the funds
to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct
information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
All documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out and there is
practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law, beside U. A. E is porous and
anything goes.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in
percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are interested, contact me as
soon as you receive this message so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and
may Allah bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you copy of the deposit certificate
issued to Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your perusal.
I wait your urgent reply .
Regards,
Mr.Abdulla Ishaq
