Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Good Day,
It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because
you do not know me but I have a lucrative business proposal
of mutual interest to share with you. Let me start by introducing myself. I
am Mr. Jeslie Chui, Senior Treasury Manager of Bank of
China (Hong Kong), Sunshine City Branch, Shop 16, Blocks C & D, Sunshine
City, Ma On Shan, New Territories, Hong Kong.
I have a Business suggestion for you. In October, 2002, my late client
Ghazi Musa Hassan, an Iraqi Crude oil merchant made
a numbered fixed deposit of Ten million Eight Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars (US$10,800,000.00) only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war (U.S and
Iraqi war), Five years ago (2003).
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response
came from him. We later found out that Ghazi Musa Hassan,
and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his
home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Ghazi Musa Hassan
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including
the paper work of his bank deposit and he also confided in me the last time
he was in my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, Ten Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come
forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of
my country at the expiration six {6} years the funds will
revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion
to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin
to Ghazi Musa Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare
the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Ghazi
Musa Hassan, all that is required from you is to provide me
with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney
will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary
approval and letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the
funds to an account that will be provided by you. We are going to adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents in your favor.
There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter, I have evaluated
the risks and the only risk I have here is for you refusing to work with me
and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation,
good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the
center of relevance in my life. Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been
transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the
ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you but this can be subjected to further
negotiations.
I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the
consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing
gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
Please observe this instruction religiously.
Should you be interested please send me your,
1, Full Names,
2, Private Phone Number,
3, Current Residential Address,
And I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below and
finally after that I shall furnish you with more information
about this operation. Your earliest response to this letter through my
private email address: jesliechu@yahoo.com.hk will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Jeslie Chui.
