Subject: URGENT RESPOND NEEDED
Dear Friend,
Greetings to you this day, I am writing you urgently for your
cooperation in an issue I need you to handle with me. My name is Mr. Charles
Hills,
and I am a banker based in the United Kingdom.
I was actually helping a friend Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba a businessman
from the USA transfer some of his money from Iraq during the time Islamic
terrorist thugs murdered people unjustly and destroyed their properties
without any form of pity. Neenus Y. Khoshaba was an unfortunate victim
of this attack, he was Kidnapped and Murdered on May 22, 2005. More
information can be found on his death if you view these sites.

Before his death, he had traveled to England to deposit the sum of
£18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million British Pounds) with HSBC bank which I
once worked for. These were proceeds he made secretly from various oil
deals in Iraq. I had the opportunity of knowing this because I was his
banker.
He also appealed to me to ensure that the funds were safely kept and if
anything should happen to him I should make his fiancee his next of
kin.
I made frantic effort to contact any relatives of Mr. Neenus Y.
Khoshaba for the past two months without any success, his fiancee died of
shock after hearing of his death.
At this point I am contacting you to act as the next of kin/original
beneficiary to Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba's fund in the bank because the bank
is planning to hold the funds as "uncleared funds" and thus make it
bank's money since no one has come forward to claim it.
I need you to stand as the next of kin so that the funds can be
processed in your name so that it can be transferred to your account.
I cannot do this alone neither can make claims to it myself that is why
I need your assistance.
If you agree to take up this responsibility, then I will facilitate the
process in making you the official beneficiary to the funds and you
will be required to contact the bank to instruct a transfer of the funds
to your account. I want to really appeal to you that as soon as these
funds are transferred to you, you will be trustworthy enough to keep it
safely and also to keep it confidential.
If you agree to assist me in this matter, you will definitely be
entitled to 25% of the total for your participation. if you are interested
in this deal.
