Subject: Greetings to you
Mr. Bolkih Fidel,
28, Seymour Place,
W1H 7NT
London, U.K
Greetings to you.
I am Mr.Bolkih Fidel and though I reside in the U.K, I am actually a citizen
of U.A.E. I am the heir apparent to a family business with its "roots" in
Dubai, U.A.E. The importance of my position in my family mandated that I be
sent to study for a degree in the U.K. At the conclusion of my degree
programme, my family decided to open the first European branch of the
company in the U.K and I was put in-charge to run it. This was of course a
good beginning for me.
At present, we are at the end of another trading year and our auditors have
once again brought it to our attention, that the tax rates applicable to our
company due to the fact that we the owners are not British is gradually
"killing" our business. Unlike the last time I was alerted, I have this
time, taken a critical overview of the records from "day one" and the
auditors seem very correct.
This situation when related to my father has really been disturbing. After
much "brain storming", my father has decided to close the UK branch. He has
directed that we salvage what is left of our investment and concentrate our
efforts on Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Now, you must wonder why I have contacted you! I am contacting you now
because there is an arrangement that I have personally mapped out to ensure
that what ever cash remaining in the Company account be transferred to who
ever is willing to assist me in this regards. All you will be required to do
is to draft an agreement from your end that you will be supplying Medical
and Agricultural Equipment to the tune of $18.5 (Eighteen Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my Company's favour. Once this
agreement is set up, I will need to see the contents and have a copy
submitted to my bankers here so they can immediately begin the transfer
processes of the stipulated amount in favour of goods to be
supplied(Supposedly) by you.
After the agreement between you and I has been submitted to my bankers, I
will file for bankruptcy while the agreement still stands with my bankers.
This way,I will be able to leave the U.K back to my Country without having
to pay so much taxes on the funds remaining and I will not be loosing much
money at the same time. You must understand that I personally have something
in it for myself because what I declare to the company in Dubai, is what
will be stated and accepted.
If you are willing to assist, please respond to this message and bear in
mind that your confidentiality is required because if this arrangement
fails, I will probably loose everything I own in the U.K
For your assistance, there is a reward. This will be discussed as soon as I
get a response from you feel free to reach me.
I will be awaiting your response anxiously.
Thank you in view of your anticipated urgent cooperation.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Bolkih Fidel
