Office of Auditor General,
CITIBANK,
364 Kensington High St
London W14
8NS
Dear Greetings,
I am Dr. Robin Quest the Chief auditor general of
CITIBANK 364 Kensington High St London W14 8NS. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. On May 20, 1999, an Iraqi
Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH PETROLUEM
CORPORATION Mr. Dara Baraz. Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24
calendar months, valued at US$32,200,000.00 (Thirty two Million two
hundred thousand dollars only) in this bank. Upon maturity in 2001, 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 his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that Mr.
Dara Baraz died as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein
during one of his trips to his country Iraq. On further investigation,
I found
out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that mr Dara Baraz did not declare any kin
or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my
Bank.
This sum of US$32,200,000.00 has been floating
as unclaimed since 1999 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives
have hit the stones. According to the British law at the expiration of
6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the six years is the
end of September 2005 Consequently, my proposal is that i want to seek
your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as
the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the
money to
your desi gnated account. All documents and proves to enable
you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the
probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries, and more so I are assuring you that the business is risk
free involvement.
Your share stays while the rest be for me and for
investment purpose as I will leave London by the end of the year. The
sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement within you
and me. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this
message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish
you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both
parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do
not take undue advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you.
PLEASE,
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS RISK.
ENDEAVOR TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN
YOUR
REPLY TO THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
Regards.
Dr. Robin Quest
Auditor
Citibank London
