Subject: Greetings from Dubai,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I
believe it is only a
day that people meet and become great friends and
business partners. I am
Mr. Ali Raza Khan, currently Head of Coporate affairs
with a reputable bank
here in U. A. E. I write you this proposal in good
faith, believing that I
can trust you with the information I am about to
reveal to you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On
November 6, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the CHEVRON
PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. KHALIL AL NASSER made a
(Fixed deposit) for 36
calendar months, valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen
Million Five hundred
Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be
his account officer before
I was moved to my present position recently. Upon
maturity in 2003, as his
account officer and as well the bank manger, it is my
duty to notify him on the
maturity date so I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but the
letter was returned undelivered.
After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but
it was again returned and
finally I discovered from his contract employers,
Chevron Petroleum Corporation
that Mr. Khalil Al Nasser died as a result of torture
in the hand of Saddam Hussein
(former Iraqi President) during one of his trips to
his country Iraq, as he was
accused of leaking information to the Americans. On
further investigation, I
discovered that Mr. Al Nasser’s family wife and two
sons died during the Gulf War
in Iraq and was the reason why he did not declare any
next of kin or relation in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank and did
not leave any WILL. This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have
been floating and placed under
dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management
since no one have heard from the
owner since 2003. I wish to let you know that all the
investigation I have made so
far, my bank management is not aware of it, I am the
only one that have the
information.
With the recent change of government in my country and
with their efforts to support
the United Nations in checkmating terrorism aid in the
U. A. E. By end of this year,
the government will pass a new financial control law
which will give the government
authority to interrogate account owners of above
$5,000,000.00 to explain the source
of the funds,making sure it is not for terrorism
support. If I do not move this money
out of the country immediately, by end of the year the
government will definitely
confiscate the money, because my bank cannot provide
the account owner to explain
the source of the money.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without the
help of a foreigner and that is why
I am contacting you for an assistance. As the Account
Officer to late Al Nasser, coupled
with my present position and status in the bank as
Head of Retail Banking Groug , I have
the power to influence the release of the funds to any
foreigner that comes up as the next
of kin to the account, with the correct information
concerning the account, which I shall
give you. All documents to enable you claim this fund
will be carefully worked out and
there is practically no risk involved, the transaction
will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law, beside U. A. E is porous and
anything goes.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how
you wish us to share the funds
in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
If you are interested, contact
me as soon as you receive this message so we can go
over the details. Thanking you in
advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with
utmost confidentiality. I shall send
you copy of the
deposit certificate issued to Al Nasser when the
deposit was made for your perusal.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. Ali Raza Khan
