Subject: Assalam Aleikum Sadiq
Assalamaleikum Sadiq ,
I am pleased to introduce a business opportunity to
transfer to your overseas account the sum of($8.4 USD)
Eight million Four hundred thousand United States
Dollars from one of the Prime Banks here in
Dakar-Senegal.
I am Mr Abu Sal Nadil(Bsc,Msc,) the Auditor General of
one of the prime banks here in Dakar Senegal west
Africa ,during the course of our auditing ,I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the
our bank since 1982 and till date no body has operated
on this account again ,after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of
the account died long ago in a plane crash along with
his family without leaving a[Heir/WILL] hence the
funds is floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Engr.Taha Ibrahim Sadiq
a foreigner, before his death, he was a management
consultant and he died since 1992. 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 until his
sudden death he was a management consultant.
Since I hardly know any foreigner,I am only contacting
you as a foreigner with the same surname to stand and
apply as his next of kin because this money can not be
approved to a local person here as his next of kin,
without valid international foreign passport.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you upon your
positive response and once I am convinced of your
capability and assurance that you will never never let
me down.
At the conclussion of this project ,we may proceed
into an investment as equal partners of which you are
to guide it pending my resignation which will be in a
short while after the transfer if you may wish or we
may share it in a ratio of 4.5 for you and 5.5 for me.
Regarding moral justification of the fund ,i wouldn't
want you to consider it haram .If you had being the
victim ,Certainly you wouldn't be happy having your
hard earnedfund shared among government as an unclaim
deposit ,i believe they are many other aspects of life
we may contribute with this fund to help the less
priveledged and the needy in a muslim society .
I look forward to your earliest response.
Allah Hafiz
Mr Abu Sal Nadil
