Dear Sir,
I am PD Dr. Walter Farkas the Managing Director of the above bank.I
have a
obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel sadiq Uday,who was with
the
Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar
months, with a value of twenty million united States Dollars only, in
my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early
last
year(2004). Again after the war another notification was sent and still
no
response came from him. We recently found out that the colonel and his
whole
family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their
home.
After further investigations, it was also discovered that Colonel Sadiq
Uday, did not declare any next of kin in his,official papers including
the paper
works 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, twenty million United States 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 laws of my country, at
the
expiration of 3 years, the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Swissland
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 Colonel Sadiq Uday,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 successfuly by the claim of this money. I have contacted
an
attorney that will prepare all the necessary documents that will back
you up as
the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday, all that is required from you at
this
stage is your Full Names and Address,phone and fax so that the attorney
can
commence his job.
IT DOES NOT MATTER YOUR COUNTRY OR RELIGION,YOU CAN BE MADE THE NEXT OF
KIN
THROUGH MY LAWYER.
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 favour for the move of the funds to an account that
will
be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to 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 to your nominated bank account the
sharing
ratio is open for negotiation from you . Should you be interested
please send
me your full names and current residential address and finally after
that i
shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.please reply
me here
in my private
email:walterfarkas1@yahoo.com,walterfarkas001@yahoo.co.uk
NOTE:PLEASE,DO NOT CONTACT ME ON THE PHONE OR IN MY BANK ADDRESS AT ALL
FOR SECURITY REASONS,CONTACT MY PRIVATE EMAIL: walterfarkas1@yahoo.com,walterfarkas001@yahoo.co.uk
Kind Regards
PD Dr. Walter Farkas the Managing Director
