From: "Joseph Varh" <joseph_varh@yahoo.fr>
Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:48:02 +0000
Subject: Please No Kidding
>From Joseph Varh,
Please this is not a Junk mail, My name is Mr. Joseph Varh, an accountant
working with a Commercial Bank here in Abidjan Ivory Coast. I'm contacting
you for a business deal to present you as the next of kin to one Mr.Richard
Dulvy our deceased client so that the proceeds of his account with our Bank
amounting to ($ 6 million US dollars) can be paid to you and then you and I
will share the money. I know that you will be surprised to receive this
message since we have not met before, however this the only way I can
contact you at this moment due to the nature of this deal.
We shall know ourselves better as soon as you indicate interest to work with
me. I just want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that
we shall come out successful, all I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this deal will be executed
under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law. Late Mr.Richard Dulvy is a Pakistan business man based here in my
country. He use to supply goods to most of the Oil servicing company here
in my country before he got a contract with the Kellogg Brown & Root, a
subsidiary of the Houston-based oil company Halliburton in Iraq in 1999.
Before his death he made a numbered fixed deposit for years, with a value of
(Six million United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity in 2004,
several notices were sent to him, even during the war in Iraq last year.
Early this year another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later found out that he was killed during the war since 5Th of
August, 2003. According a reliable information I gather by myself, he was
in a five-vehicle convoy with with some of the oil workers traveling from
Baghdad when their car hit an improvised device.
The facts is that Mr Richard confided in me when he made the deposit, as a
matter facts no one except me has the details of his deposit in our bank.
So, the $6,000,000.00 (Six million United States Dollars) is still lying in
our 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 of 3
years the funds will be reverted to the ownership of the Ivory Coast
government, if nobody come up as the deceased next of kin to claim the
funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you
as a foreigner to stand as his next of kin.
If you can handle this deal with me, reach me now through this e-mail box
for more details.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Sincerely,
Joseph Varh.
