Subject: DEAR FRIEND
MR. ERIC PERSSON
S.N.S BANK LTD.
AMSTELVEEN,
AMSTERDAM,
NETHERLAND.
Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr. Eric Persson
credit officer of the S.N.S Bank Ltd. I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General.
Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also
business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Twelve millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,
even during the war early this year. Again after the
war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that the
General and his family had been killed during the war
in bomb blast that hit their home. After further
investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim
Moussa did not 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, Twelve millions Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the to the
laws of my country at the expiration three years the
funds will revert to the ownership of the Netherland
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I
will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of
kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to know that I have had
everything planned out so that we shall come out
successful. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up
as the next of kin to Gen.Ibrahim Moussa,all that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide
me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney
will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure
the necessary approval and letter of probate in your
favor for the move of the funds.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we
are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney
will prepare all the necessary documents. Please
endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferreD, we shall share
in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this peration.
Should you be interested please send me your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can
write me via my private box, (ericperss@zwallet.com)and
i will provide you with more details of this
operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Eric persson
