From the desk of Mr fazil umair Bill and exchange mananger Bank negera, kuala lumpur. selangor,malaysia. Strictly for you. I am the bill and exchange mananger at the foreign remittance department of BANK NEGERA MALAYSIA. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15m usd (Fifteen million USD)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in november 1999 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless sombody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guilelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the m
oney to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don? want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a malaysian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you mus t apply first to
the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer . You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.Trusting to hear from you soonest.pls get back to me on fazil_umair@walla.com <mailto:fazil_umair@walla.com>. Your faithfully, MR. fazil umair
