Dear Sir,
I am Dr.Hashim Zaki,An Iraqi Citizen and Auditor by profession. I am 48
years,married with four Children. I obtained a List of accademic
qualifications from World Class
institutions.I am privilaged to be the Auditor General of a prime
Bank
here in Iraq,and accounts officer to Some
Oil Merchants/Distributors in Basrah-Iraq.
During the Licencing of private banks in Iraq,i was invited for an
appointment.My exposure with the Western culture pave the opportunity
for
my position and the
Foreign/investing customers' confidence in my bank and my Position as
their
accounts officer.
After the invasion of My country,in which some people lost theirlives.
Most of the customers came back for Claims and were granted their
request,but i had problem with two of my esteemed Customers who never
showed
up since 2002.
These Net-Worth Customers have huge sum of money with
myBank.Persornally i
had made frantic effort to trace these bosom friends of mine but to no
avail,My bank had written several official letters to their Iraq
addresses
but there had not been any response.
As it stand now the elected Government,who will take over the
processing of
these debt payments and Finance Ministry had also issued instruction to
offload the Foreign Debts of the Country to help ascertain the National
Reserve and Balance of Payment Resolution,
My Bank now requires a foreigner who has the informations to these
accounts
so that they can release these funds to them.
My Customers have USD26m and USD128.6m respectively,in theiraccounts,A
lady
and a gentle man.
Relaible Informations from the Immigration Department reveals that the
gentle man was single at the point of Entry and that the lady(A
widow)Entered with two Children,and that the entire family lost their
lives
in a Terrorist Bomb attack here in Iraq.
There are alot of re-shufflement going on in the Finance and
bankingsector,alot of Private banks will be sold to (Foreign)Expertise
banks
and and should we not make haste about this claim we may lose this money
to
the Iraq Government and this will give a big boost to The Terrorist
Purse.I
have all relevant informations to this account and will urge you to come
forward to stand in as the bonafide beneficiary to this accounts,we
will
start with The USD 26m and upon the successful
transfer of that we will carry on with the rest of the funds.
