Dear Friend,
I was checking through an economic mailing list belonging to a group of
personal and business gazette magazine. I was really amazed and
fascinated to have noticed that the new updated database has increased with
new interesting members.
Since, you have been listed in the database; I will make the first
initiative by introducing myself to you. My name is Dr Elie Saab, a retired
chief economist and also financial adviser of various world and
business leaders in the field of project management, account management etc.
During my years as chief economist and a consultant, I have made sure
to bring up the best of me in my field of play. My last contract was
with the just passed away Lebanese Prime Minister, Mr Rafik Hariri, who
passed away in early days of February.
During my association with him, we did undertake a lot of projects
which I was the main pillar behind the facilitation and was also
responsible for all the design works in all projects that, I did initiate were
successfully completed beyond schedule.
But there was one project left behind completion which was the Mineral
Exploration project for a grant to foreign investor, which his
Excellency and I was the only individual who knew about the existence of the
projects. This was a project to attract and encourage new business
opportunity for employment and growth in the country.
Before the beginning of the project, his Excellency allocated funds
needed for the completion of the project from start to finish and was
located in an account which I and his Excellency were the only had full
control access to the funds in the account. As you know from what was said
about Mr. Hariri, he was a very wealthy businessman and did what was
needed of him as a father, leader and citizen of Lebanon.
As a matter of fact, since the death of his Excellency the project has
come to a halt and the funds are still in the custody of the bank,
which my intention is to get these funds out of the said bank account. All
attempts, I have done to reimbursed the money in the account of the
family have proved futile because knowing my involvement with his
Excellency and the project would involve me and as such we need an independent
person to apply for the loan (Note that this grant is not repayable).
At this moment, the funds are located in another account in Europe,
where after been approved the payment would be made from European. But
what I need from you now is that, if you owe a company or you are an
investor willing to invest in Lebanon with a bank account that can allow
large transfer, and then these funds can be directed to your account as a
grant. The most interesting thing about this, is that the bank would
contact me to approve the grant
I must stress that; I am a very busy man and would not tolerate any
unserious and unreliable person to take up this proposal,
Do reply to my via my private email box,saabelieoffice@ny.com
Thanks
Dr Elie Saab.
