Subject: Proposal From:Mr. Ibrahim Abd-El-Fattah.
National Bank OF Egypt(u.k)Limited.
TRAFALGAR HOUSE
11,WATERLOO PLACE
LONDON SW 1 Y4 AU
UNITED KINGDOM.
15/07/2005.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Ibrahim Abd-El-Fattah, General Manager of National Bank Of Egypt,
London,United Kingdom Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the South Africa
Minning Corporation, Mr. Charles Anderson made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five Million
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 the south Africa minning Corporation that Mr.Charles
Anderson died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found
out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next
of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Charles Anderson did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$25,000,000.00 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 and according to my country Law, at
the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Egyptian 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.Charles Anderson so that the fruits of this man
labour 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 i will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
which will put you in place as the next of kin. I will in your name resume
the processing and notarization of all the necessary documents and letter
of probate/administration in your favor in order for the transfer to take
place.
A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money/fund to you as the beneficiary/next
of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 70% for my side and 30% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by an Attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the my email address
.I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be 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.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Ibrahim Abd-El-Fattah.
