DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr.Abdullah Saif Executive Director of one of the appex bank.
An Iragi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit =
for18 calendar months, this is valued to Seventten million Five Hundred =
ThousandUnited State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice =
was sentto him, even during the war, three years ago (2003). Again after the =
waranother notification was sent and still no response came from him. We =
laterfound out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the =
war inGunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well =
was.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon did =
notdeclare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of =
hisbank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office =
thatno one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Seventeen million =
FiveHundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no =
one willever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to =
the laws ofmy country at the expiration five years six months the funds will =
revert to theownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the =
funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position =
toinstruct the BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest =
survivingrelation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the =
money withyou in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin =
and havethem release the deposit to you. We share the procentange 50/50. I =
would havegone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have =
drawn astraight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you =
that Icould have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply =
informthe bank of the final closing of the file relating to Haider Hanoon I =
will thenofficially communicate with my Bank and instruct them to release the =
deposit toyou. With these: all is done. I am aware of the consequences of =
this proposal.
