Subject: GREAT REWARD IF YOU CAN BE HONEST / REPLY TODAY
FROM: MRS. MARIAM SAMEER
REMITTANCE DIRECTOR;
Arab National Bank; Saudi Arabia.
RIYADH - KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA.
ATTENTION: My Good Friend,
Dear Friend, It is my humble pleasure to write you this confidential letter
irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. Hence, I solicit your
strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature
as being utterly confidential and top secret as I am writing you in
confidence for good relationship. My Name is MRS. MARIAM SAMEER, I am the
the Director of Foreign Remittance in the Arab National Bank. I have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us.
During my Auditing of the Bank's Accounts for last month, I came across a
very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (ABDELDAYEM EL-KHATIB
ABDULLAH). An Iraqi Citizen who was among the people that Died during the
recent war in Iraq. His death occured was so unfornately because he was an
Oil Magnate here in Saudi-Arabia and he has some companies in Iraq because
his Family based there. During his visit to Oversee his companies and entire
Family in Iraq last year, the recent War started in Iraq and he died along
with his Family. Before his Death, he had the sum of US$35Million in a Fixed
Deposit Account in this Bank and the Money matured since November last year.
Right now, the Money is lying unclaimed in our custody hence there is no
next of kin mentioned in his file with this Bank and there is no how we can
reach any of his relatives. The said mount involved is the sum of
US$35,000,000.00 (Thirty Five MillionU.S. Dollars). Upon my personal finding
on this matter, I kept this information secret to myself until now that I am
contacting you. In view of the fact that the deceased customer is a
foreigner (from a different country), it is Officially important for the
involvement of a foreigner who wil pose as a next-of-kin. I will use my
exalted position in this Bank to present you as his Next of Kin as you can
be his relative, friend or Cousin and the Money (US$35Million) will be
Safely ransfered into your own bank account in your country. Before I made
up my mind to contact you, I have concluded every arrangement to ensure that
you receive the funds successfully as the next of kin.
Also I have put in place necessary machinery for a hitch free transfer of
this Money to your Bank Account nominate in any part of the world. All I
need from you mostly is your trustworthiness, Honesty and good cooperation.
Based on that, send me immediately your name, telephone numbers, office or
Residential address, company name and Fax number (if any), and your Bank
account particulars where the fund will be transferred into for you. Because
you shall be officially regarded as the New Beneficiary/ Next of Kin that
will be Legally approved as the entitled owner of the US$35Million. As soon
as the Money is transfered and confirmed into your account, you will be
entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 70% will be for me.
Later on, I must invest my 70% in your country based on your advise and you
will be the dministrator of all the investments that I shall have in your
country pending when I will resign from the Services of this Bank.
I have a plan to resign my job upon your receipt of the fund in your
account. This sum of US$35M is presently Floating in an account here in this
Bank and No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to the Law
of my country, at the expiration of Two (2) years the money will revert to
the ownership of the State (Government) if nobody applies to claim the fund.
This prompted me to contact you. I contacted you because it is against our
code of ethics to own and operate foreign accounts and I shall raised all
necessary documents in your name which shall legally prove/ confirm you as
the actual next of kin to the Former/Late beneficiary.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the lawyer will prepare the necessary documents for the
drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the Vital documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favour to show that you are the
next of kin to the deceased. There is no risk involved at all, the paperwork
for this transaction will be done legally, this will guarantee the
successful execution of the transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately, upon your response, I shall provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
Note that if you are Afraid of Sending me your account information, I
suggest that you Open a New Account with Zero Balance (NO MONEY INSIDE) and
we shall effectively use it for this transaction provided that it can be
able to Accomodate the Funds. I require you to maintain the confidentiality
of this ransaction because it is important due to the fact that I am still
in active services with the ARAB NATIONAL BANK.
Immediately I recieve your response indicating your interest, I shall send
you more details. Remember that your Faithfulness, and Confidentiality is
mostly required.
