Subject: Can We Work Together
Attn:I am Mr. Rowland Kelley the Bank Manager of Arab Bank Plc. 73 Brooks street London W1k 4HX .D. Please I hope that this will not be a misplacement of trust hence I make this urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On December 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the British Petroleum Corporation Hafeez Al Sadique made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$17.500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity in 2000,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address and got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that HAFFEZ AL SADIQUE died as a result of torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq as one of the Iraqi elites opposing the tyrannical leadership of Sadam Hussein. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I am therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. HAFFEZ AL SADIQUE. Did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in Arab Bank Plc. here in Brooks street London. This sum of US$17.500,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 2001 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones. According to the British law at the expiration of 6 (SIX) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the six years is this year end of December 2006 with Six month validation period which will finally expire by December 2007.Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account.All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that the business is risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for myself and for investment purpose, as I will invest my share in your country.The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement within you and I. As soon as I receive an acknowledgment of receipt of this message in acceptance of my mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict.If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you bearing in mind my position, as any attempt to sabotage me will automatically lead to lose of all my life effort in the banking industry. Betray me will make me suffer the rest of my life. Please appreciate the fact that doing business over the Internet is risky. Endeavor to send your confidential telephone and fax number in your reply to: - rowland.kelley@yahoo.co.uk (alternative email) in anticipation of your friendly cooperation and further advice.Yours faithfully.Mr. Rowland Kelley
