DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr George Raoul Executive Director of one of the appex bank. An Iraqi =
named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 cal=
endar months, this is valued to Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand Uni=
ted 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 an=
other notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later f=
ound out that aider 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 n=
ot 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 ban=
k and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that ac=
cording to the laws of my country at the expiration five years six months t=
he funds will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies t=
o claim the funds. My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of k=
in 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 s=
hare 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 ercent=
ange 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 de=
posit.I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a f=
ew days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file rel=
ating 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 inter=
est in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do no=
t 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 beca=
use you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people lik=
e 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 a=
gainst good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dyn=
amics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities onl=
y come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, fo=
r once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances wont pas=
s 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 opportuni=
ties. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undert=
aking. 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 plant=
ed 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 con=
clusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official chann=
els; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not wan=
t you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you conta=
cting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the num=
bers 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 clien=
t beneficiary as my deceased client had no relation all his family died wit=
h 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 documentatio=
n that is required to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this t=
ransaction will be to set up two offshore accounts that can accommodate the=
se funds and I will give you more light later once you agree to partner wit=
h me. Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through i=
nternational banking laws and all documents related to this transaction wil=
l be sent to you by post for your perusal and trust. I do not want any dire=
ct 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 wi=
th our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction rel=
igiously. 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 consequen=
ces, 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 con=
