Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 11:38:11 +0400
Subject: From Mr.Gebrial Yousuf
Mr. Gebrial Yousuf Mobeid
Branch Manager of
National Bank of Abu Dhabi
Dubai United Arab Emirate (U.A.E)
Email:gebrialy2@simbamail.fm
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Mr. Gebrial Yousuf Mobeid Branch Manager National Bank of Abu Dhabi), I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. A British
Oil consultant and contractor with the Kruger Gold Company, Mr. Thomas Stone
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred United State Dollars) in my
branch. 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 from his
contract employers, the Kruger Gold Company that Mr. Raymond Beck died in a
plane crash along with his wife Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stone & Willa Dean Stone
in Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air crash (for more information about this
crash and person 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 and on further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Thomas Stone did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$12,500,000.00 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 United Arab
Emirates, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the (U.A.E) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Thomas Stone so that the fruits of this old man's
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 necessary 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 60%
for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for
this transaction 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. Please 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 confidential email:
gebrialy2@simbamail.fm
Regards.
Mr.Gebrial Yousuf Mobeid.
