Subject: GREETINGS FROM THE EMIRATES OF DUBAI
Greetings,
Before I introduce myself, I want you to patiently read this offer
as it comes with the best of intentions as I wish to inform you that
this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it seriously.
I write you this letter in good faith as we want to transfer to an
overseas account US$12,850.000.00 (Twelve Million Eight Hundred
Fifty Thousand United States Dollars)
from a prime Bank here in Dubai-United Arab Emirates.
I want to ask you, If you are not capable to quietly look for a
reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money,even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain
honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in
you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now
or in future.
I am Dr. Abdul Kadir Gaya, recently promoted to Auditor General in
one of the Apex banks here in Dubai. During the course of our
auditing last week, I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on
this account again, after going through some old files in the
records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a
[Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this
money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of
this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American and a great
industrialist and a resident of Alaska State, who unfortunately lost
his life in the plane, crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which
crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter
leaving nobody to claim the money. You can read more news about the
crash on visiting this site; http://www.alaskaair.com/E_latest.asp.
No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to
me as well that the account is a secret account.
The total amount involved is US$12,850.000.00 (Twelve Million
Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) and we wish to
transfer this money into a safe foreigners account abroad. But I
don't know any foreigner; I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money cannot be approved to a local person here, but to
a foreigner who has information about the account, which I shall
give to you upon your positive response. I am revealing this to you
with believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting
for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform
you on the next step to take urgently. I need your strong assurance
>that you will never let us down, me and a key bank official who is
deeply involved with me in this business.
I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a
>legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. The bank official will destroy all documents of the transaction
immediately you receive this money leaving no trace to any place. I
will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for
onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.
At the conclusion of this business, I will give you 28% of the fund
for this assistance. I am aware of the international monitoring of
all large-scale financial movements after the September 11th 2001
terrorist attack on America and to avoid any state of financial
Investigation, I will provide a classified clearance paper from the
relevant bodies that will exonerate the money from drug, money
laundered or terrorist related proceeds. Kindly respond to my
proposal through this my private email; kadirgaya@webave.com
indicating interest and if it is not your wish kindly forget I
contacted you.
PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL.
I look forward to your earliest reply
Best Regards,
Dr. Abdul Kadir Gaya
