Subject: Greetings from Dubai,
*Private email: **monaalrashdi@ubbi.com* <monaalrashdi@ubbi.com>
*Greetings from Dubai,
This letter must come to you as a surprise, but I believe it is only a day
that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am
Mr.Mona Al Rashdi , currently Head of Coporate affairs with a reputable bank
here in U. A. E. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I
can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. I have an
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On November 6, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the
CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, Mr.Jack Farrer Powell made a (Fixed deposit)
for 36 calendar months, valued at US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United
State Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his account officer before
I was moved to my present position recently.
Upon maturity in 2003,as his account officer and as well the bank manger, it
is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but the letter was returned
undelivered. After sometime, I tried sending back the letter,but it was
again returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers, Chevron
Petroleum Corporation that Mr.jack farrer powell died as a result of torture
in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President) during one of his
trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information to the
Americans.
On further investigation, I discovered that Mr.Jack Farrer Powell amily wife
and two sons died during the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did
not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not leave any WILL.
This sum of US$12,000,000.00 have been floating and placed under
dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard
from the owner since 2003.I wish to let you know that all the investigation
I have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am the only one
that have the information.
With the recent change of government in my country and with their efforts to
support the United Nations incheckmating terrorism aid in the U.A. E. By end
of this year, the government will pass a new financial control law which
will give the government authority to interrogate account owners of above
$5,000,000.00 to explain the source of the funds, making sure it is not for
terrorism support. If I do not move this money out of the country
immediately, by end of the year the government will definitely confiscate
the money, because my bank cannot provide the account owner to explain the
source of the money.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner
and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance. As the Account
Officer to late jack farrer powell , coupled with my present position and
status in the bank as Head of Retail Banking Group ,
I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that
comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information
concerning the account, which I shall give you. All documents to enable you
claim this fund will be carefully worked out and there is practically no
risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law, beside U. A. E is
porous and anything goes.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are
interested contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over
the details.
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost
confidentiality . I shall send you copy of the deposit certificate issued to
Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your perusal. I wait your urgent
response at my confidential email id at
(**monaalrashdi@ubbi.com*<monaalrashdi@ubbi.com>

*Mr.Mona Al Rashdi.*
