Hello,
- It's my pleasure to send you this mail, which I hope you will treat it with the maturity it deserved. I am Robert Newman, credit officer of my bank. On October 15, 2001, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man, made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of Four Million pounds only in my branch. And on 1st November, 2004 , we received a call that the Governor has been assassinated in Baghdad. The websites below is a verification of the news about his death: Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my customer's extended relatives and until date have not succeeded. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by Late Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah before it gets confiscated by our bank or declared Unserviceable by our bank. Now, the bank Directors has called a board meeting regarding these Funds. So my main motive right now is to share this great opportunity with you by presenting you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since all his Banking details are with me as his personal Account Officer. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank as next-of-kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 4 Million Pounds can be transfer to you as inheritance and there after, we can share the money; 60% to me and my colleague and 30% to you, while 10% will be for reimbursement of expenses incurred by all parties in the course of the transaction. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the deceased lawyer and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction and I have the original copy of Certificate of Deposit of the funds, which will also be used to substantiate our inheritance claims. All I Require is your consent and honest co-operation to enable us see the deal through. Please contact me if you are interested as I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country as I find myself privileged to have this information and this is a great opportunity for a life time of success. Thanks once more for co-operating, Robert Newman.
