Subject: Re: Urgent Response Needed
Dear Sir,
This is in receipt of your email, I have been so ill that is why I have not being able to reply your email. I quite understood your email clearly but I want you to understand that all I want from you is your sincere assistance with this transaction.
However, you need to know that for the success of this transaction and for transparency purposes, I need to underline the following points.
Firstly as I explained to you on my first email, the Mineral Exploration project for a grant to foreign investor, which his Excellency and I were the only individuals who knew about the existence of the project to attract and encourage new business opportunity for employment and growth in the country.
This of course doesn’t mean you have to travel to Lebanon for anything; it would be approved via telephone and online banking. Remember that the bank still think that this project is running in Lebanon, so once the bank calls me to approve the grant; it would obviously be approved by me. Just follow the bank’s instruction and we would achieve our goals.
I want you to understand that because of the amount involved, we have to be very careful and work fast. You would be required to open an offshore account with the same bank that the funds was deposited into in the United Kingdom for security reasons, so that funds could be transferred internally without any questions asked.
Due to the large funds in question, once the funds are transferred internally to your account, we would then meet in a suitable place to discuss final disbursement according to the percentages indicated below, and then we would split the funds and put yours wherever you want. At this meeting, I will provide you with four other accounts for you to transfer my funds into. You could continue to bank with the offshore bank in the UK or transfer your share and close down that account.
At this point you would have to guarantee me that this transaction would be kept between both of us because, if this gets out it could damage both our reputation. I would also want to assure you that if we could work together in one accord this transaction would sail smoothly and the funds would be transferred into your bank account.
Now let me introduce you to the formation of the grant categories. There are three qualifying categories, industrial, educational and agricultural status grant.
Industrial status grants (Over USD20million).
Educational status grants (Between USD 10-20million).
Agricultural status grants (Below USD 10million).
I propose to give you 40% of the total grant applied for, as that was what I gave the other person that helped me with previous transaction. I look forward in meeting with you soonest upon the conclusion of this transaction. You need to send me these required contact details of yours urgently in order for my attorney in charge of these transaction to prepare all necessary documents in order for the grant to be approve on you name so that the bank would release these funds to you; you do not need to make payment for the preparation of these documents. If your personal funds would be involved in executing this transaction it may be with the bank and that should not be a problem for you to rectify considering the amount involved.
Let me guarantee you again that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me urgently. Also, kindly provide me the following details.
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
3. Occupation
Once more thanks for your willingness to assist and hope we can work together in confidentiality and sincerity to actualise this aim.
Regards
Dr Kamal Mattar
