Dear One,
I am MR.barr_lawisemma, the chief accountant of Africa Development Bank
(ADB).I have a concealed proposal for you.
After the United State and Iraqi war, our client Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who
was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of
Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even after the war late this
year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that the Governor has been
assasinated in Baghdad. The websites below is a verification of the news.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Hatem Kamil Abdul
Fatah did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he
was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So,
Six millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my
bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is
that according to the laws of my country at the expiration three years the
funds will revert to the ownership of the SOUTH AFRICAN Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is
that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Hatem
Kamil Abdul Fatah so that you will be able to receive his funds. THE
REQUISITE OF THE PROJECT I want you to know that I have had everything
planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an
attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as
the next of kin to Hatem Kamil AbdulFatah,all that is required from you at
this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that
the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of
kin,the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the
funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved
at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the
attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to
observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the
funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in
the ratio of 60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for any expenses incurred
during the course of this operation.
Should you be interested please send me your full particulars including your
private phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can write me via
the above email box at: barr_lawisemma55@msn.com and i will provide you with
more details of this operation as well as my particulars.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
MR.barr_lawisemma@msn.com
