Subject: I NEED A FOREIGN BUSINESS PARTNER
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr.Abdullah Saif Executive Director of one of the reputable bank here.
An Iragi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, this is valued to Seventten million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent to him, even during the war, three years ago (2003). Again
after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from
him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed
during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his
personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon 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 at my
office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Seventeen
million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank
and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that
according to the laws of my country at the expiration five years six months
the funds will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position to
instruct the BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving
relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with
you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have
them release the deposit to you. We share the procentange 50/50. I would
have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have
drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit.I assure you
that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will
simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Haider
Hanoon I will then officially communicate with my Bank and instruct them to
release the deposit to you. With these: all is done. I am aware of the
consequences of this proposal.
I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard
this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer
is of no appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may
not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a
criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be
hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I
make this move. Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I
cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control
of my destiny. These chances wont pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy
my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with
my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity
to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project
and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the
only risk I have here is from 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. Lets
share the blessing.
If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a
conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official
channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not
want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you
contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the
numbers I will provide for you and also through the email account that i
will provide therein in this email.
Further more be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you the
privilege to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased
client had no relation all his family died with him during the war and I can
not use my relation because its not accepted here . Also I am very confident
that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this
deal and all that I need from the time been is your willingness and
commitment so that we can end this in the nest one weeks.
What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure
that it passes through all international banking laws regards to retaining
the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation
that is required to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this
transaction will be to set up two offshore accounts that can accommodate
these funds and I will give you more light later once you agree to partner
with me.
Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through
international banking laws and all documents related to this transaction
will be sent to you by post for your perusal and trust.
I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not
secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of
customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please
observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man,
I have wife and children. 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. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking
clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should
plan a meeting, soon. Should you be interested I will prefer you to reach me
on the email address below.
