Dear Friend.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On 20th MAY
2002, an Iraqi National a member of Kurdish political chieftain JalalTalabani's family Oil consultant/contractor with The Iraqi Northern Oil Company Mr Ghazi Talabani Made a
deposit valued at US$32,186,340.00 (Thirty two Million One hundred and Eighty
Six thousand Three hundred and forty dollars only) in a private business
account in the bank.
further contact revealed that Mr Ghazi Talabani had died months later as a
result of Gunmen attack on his way to work on the June 17, 2004. He had
died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
Also, he did not declare any kin or business partner in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. According to the Statutory Regulation law the account is about to be declared unclaimed and the money will automatically be reverted to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and this will take place in few months time.
Consequently as an auditor of the account and that of the bank my proposal is
that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
and business partner to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money
to your designated account.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the
deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that the business is risk
free.
Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose as i will
leave London by the end of the year. The sharing of the funds will be based
According to agreement within me and you. As soon as i receive an
acknowledgment of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business
proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement
ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust i have bestowed on you.

In your reply kindly send me your direct contact information which will include phone and fax.
