I am Mr.Adnan A.K.Ismail Branch Manager National Bank of Dubai Abu Dhabi branch, I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
A British Oil consultant and contractor with the Kruger Gold Company,Mr. Raymond
Beck made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
S$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United State Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity,
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
Kruger Gold Company that Mr. Raymond Beck died in a plane crash along with his wife
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Beck died in a plan crash along with his wife in Egypt Air
Flight 990, 1999 air crash (for more information about this crash and person you can
contact this website
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm>
Since we got this information about his death and 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 investigationand discovered that Mr. Raymond Beck did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my
Bank.
This sum of US$12,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of United Arab
Emirates, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the (U.A.E) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the
next of kin to Mr. Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will
put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the
WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in
your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will
provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me
and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by
the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.If you are interested, please reply immediately via
the private email address above.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would
be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Regards.
Mr.Adnan A.K.Ismail
