Greetings,
May I take the liberty to introduce myself as ; Mr. Antonio Faraz, Bank
Manager of Export and Industry bank of the Philippines, Dagupan branch,
R.O.P. I have an urgent and very confidential proposal for your review
and consideration.
On July 3, 1999, an Importer/Exporter Egyptian farmer,Mr. Abdel-Rahman
Amin made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in my branch,
through our fiduciary affiliate bank in the United Kingdom.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered that Mr.Abdel-Rahman Amin died along with his wife in
EgyptAir Flight 990, air crash.For more information about this crash and
person's you can contact this website):
http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.
htm Since we got this information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we
can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to
the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but
unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin Mrs Alia Abdou
died along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to claim the
money.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.
Abdel-Rahman Amin did not declare any other kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Republic of Philippines, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Philippine
Government if nobody applies for the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Abdel-Rahman Amin so that the
fruits of his labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the attorney will prepare the ecessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the
ratio of 75% for me and 20% for you and 5% set aside to cover all
incured expenses.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this ransaction will
be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please reply immediately via the private email address above .
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Endeavour to send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for
easy communication.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email antonio@mymail.ph
Thanks and regards.
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR. ANTONIO FARAZ
EXPORT AND INDUSTRY BANK
DAGUPAN BRANCH
PHILIPPINES.
