Good-day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me, but it is a matter
that I am convinced we can solve both, if we work together in harmony.
However, I seek for your absolute confidence as I introduce myself to
you.My name is SANI MOHAMMED, Assistant Auditor, OFFSHORE FINANCIAL
SERVICES, Dubai (UAE).
In the discharge of my duty as the Assistant Auditor, I stumbled on
this domiciliary account belonging to a foreingn businessman here in
Dubia that has remained dormant for three years now with Ten million six
hundred USdollars(US$10.6m) in it.
I contacted my directors and we sent out staff for enquiries about this
fund and discovered that the account holder died in an accident. I am
writing you so that we can work together to remit the money to you as
the next of kin because this money belongs to a foreigner and has to be
claimed by a foreigner.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangements that will
not bridge the law by both parties. I have options to offer you, first
you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for your
assistance, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable
investment of the money. Which ever option you choose, feel free to notify
me.
If for some reasons you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to
give you 25% of the money, 15% for every expenses that will be incured
during the transaction of this fund, and 60% will be for me and my
partners as the originator of the business.
Note, On the event that you cannot assist me to do the business, I beg
you to still keep my contact and existence of this fund a secret. I
also require you make available to me your confidential telephone and fax
numbers to enable me communicate with you easily.
It is simple process which will take a short while to process. To
indicate your interest to work with us, Please forward your reply and
all inquiries. I will give you more detailed informations regarding on
what to do and how to do it for us to achieve good success about the
transaction as soon as I hear from you.
