RE: TRANSFER OF 30,000,000.00 USD (THIRTY MILLION,
US DOLLARS)
I am the Head of Treasury / Money Control Officer,
and also the personal account officer to a great late
industrialist,who has an account with my Bank here
in Iraq.
This account was opened in 1995 and has not been
operated (remained inactive) since 2001. Realiable sources
revealed that the oil merchant died in one of the terrorist
attacks in his Basra residence.
Until his death there was no written or oral will.
His name is George B. Eastwood, and the current balance is
USD30million. The account has no other beneficiary and until
George B. Eastwood's death, he was the manager of Trust Oil
Co. LLC Basra-Iraq. My investigation through the Immigration
Department proved to me as well that George B.Eastwood was
single and he had no beneficiaries or next of kin,
before or after his entry into the Arab Republic of Iraq.
This account in question has been floating (dormant)
since 2001 and if I do not remit this money out urgently it
will be forfeited for nothing since my bank has been sold to
another Bank in Kuwait and the management of the bank is
ready to release the Fund to any foreigner who has the
correct information of the account before fully handing over
to the management of the new bank in January ,2006.
I am writing you now because a successful takeover bid was
launched last May by a Kuwaiti Bank, and by January,2006,the
2 Banks will merge! This means that a management internal
AUDIT will reveal the money, and it will surely be donated
to one of the ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST GROUPS,who are really
armed terrorists!
With your help, I can transfer this money LEGALLY to
your nominated Bank Account anywhere in the world. We
will start with USD5million at first, and if there is no
disappointment or betrayal on your part, I will transfer out
the remaining USD25million. I am revealing this to you with
faith In Allah,that you will never let me down in this
business, You are
the first and only Person that I am contacting for
this business, So please reply urgently so that I will
inform you about the next step to take. With my influence
and power in the Bank, all will be safely handled and
legally done; THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO RISKS!
At the conclusion of the transfer, you will give me
60% of the money and keep 40% for your self.
You can attention your reply to my private email box
at(fouad_mustaffa1@walla.com). You can also send
your full name and address, country of origin and telephone
number so that we can start preparing your transfer
documents.
Awaiting your prompt and positive response.
Yours Truly,
Dr. Fouad Majeed Mustafa ACCA,FCIA
