Please Note; My new is: info_kamp@naseem.com


Dear Sir /Madam,


I am Mr.Kamp Naseem, Corporate Finance Manager of Post Bank, Driemond branch and I am forty-five years old. I stumbled on this discovery . On June 6, 2000 an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Harliburton oil company office here in Amsterdam, Mr.Howard Lookman made a Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at (Five Million United States Dollars) in my bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. Several periodic reminders were sent but to no avail and finally we discovered from his contract employers, (Harliburton) that Mr.Howard Lookman had died from an automobile accident on his wayback from a holiday trip.


Further investigation revealed that Mr.Howard Lookman declared no next of kin on his sworn affidavits with the bank records. This sum of (Five Million United States Dollars) is still in my bank and remain unclaimed till date. According to The Netherland laws, the government will confiscate this money if unclaimed by the end of the second quater of 2006 financial year.


I am therefore, most humbly and discreetly seeking a reliable,serious minded,commited, honest and a trustworthy foreign associate and friend to help stand as the next of kin and secure these funds on my behalf, incase Mr.Howard Lookman is not in any way related to you, rather than having it seized by the authorities.


I will give you more details as soon as I hear from you, Should you be of assistance in any way, I offer you 30% of total sum. However, you were recommended to me as a reliable and trust worty person by an acquaintance of yours, who wants anonymity for now. I would also want to inform you that this is a capital intensive project. we would have to settle certain European taxes to facilitate a smooth transfer of funds to your bank account. However, all the money that is required will be sent to you before the commencement of this transaction.


I will stop from here for now,why I will be looking forward to hear from you soon.


N.B. ;Should any case you want to continue this transaction with me. Please reply to my private email address details below; And as soon as I received your email.


Thanks and best regards.

Mr.Kamp Naseem
