*CITI BANK LONDON
332 OXFORD STREET UK.
Dear Partner,
I am Mr Philip Anderson,the Bank Manager of Citi bank 332 Oxford
Street,London W1N 9AA +4470211148697.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 June 6, 1997, 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$7.500,000.00 (Seven Million, Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my
branch.Upon maturity in 2003,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but 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 tutu re in the hand of sad dam
Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq as one of the Iraqi
elites opposing the tyrannical leadership of sad am 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 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 Citi bank here in oxford street London.This sum of
US$7.500,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2003 in my bank as all
efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.*
*According to the British law at the expiration of 8 (eight)years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund and the eight years is the end of December 2007 with nine
month validation period which will finally expire by
August 2008.Consequently, my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as
a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money 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 lost 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
RISK.ENDEAVOR TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN YOUR
REPLY TO ME.
