Subject: Your Immediate Attention.
Dear ,
This letter must come to you
as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become
great friends and business partners. I am Mr. Nizar Al Mallouhi a Kuwait
National, currently Head of Cooperate 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 got your contact over the internet as a trustworthy and
reliable person. Please pay attention and understand my reason of contacting
you today through this email. I am the personal solicitor to a foreigner, Late
Mr. Donald Heck, an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash
of Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air crash {for more information about this crash
and person you can contact this website}

He is an Iraqi Foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, Mr. Donald Heck,
made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$17,500,000.00
(Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen
to be his account officer before I was moved to my present position recently.
You may read more about the crash on visiting this B.B.C News internet website.
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 assistance. As the Account Officer to Late Mr. Donald Heck , 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 you when the deposit was made for your
perusal.
I wait your urgent response
via my private email: nizar.almallouhi@yahoo.com
Regards,
Mr. Nizar Al Mallouhi.
