Atten. Dear,
(RE: TRANSFER OF(36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS )
THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYNINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING
My name is Mr.Richard Neville and I work in the International operation department in a Bank here in London. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL.of 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS {THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING}
I later learnt on further discreet investigation that the depositor of the funds has passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the Account.
The bank will delieve this money to any foreigner with legal claims because the former depositor is a foreigner.
The owner of this account is Mr.Rafik Hariri, I am certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the claim of this money A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.
I will provide all the necessary information needed in order to claim this money, you can either provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as
long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in future.
Late Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005), married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon (1992-1998 and 2000-2004) before his last resignation from office on October 20, 2004.
The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, for more information please log on to (http://www.hariri.info)
I also need your strong assurance that you will never,never let me down. With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine,because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
We WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT
LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES YOU.
Let me hear from you URGENTLY by Email.
Best Regards
Mr Richard Neville.
