EMIRATES BANK

Mr. Mehdi Kazim (Head of Corporate Banking)
Email: info.ae72@yahoo.com
Greetings from Dubai,
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.Mehdi Kazim, currently Head of Cooperate affairs with Emirates 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: info.ae72@yahoo.com
Regards,
Mehdi Kazim.
