I am Mr. Adnan hamoudi of National Bank of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
I am writing to you for an investment proposal of funds that are pending in my bank. These funds were deposited since 1999 and after several requests, nobody is coming forward to claim them. According to the law of this country, the government has a right to take over any deposits that are not claimed after eight years.
I would not want the government to take over this money and I have arranged the necessary documents that can enable you claim this money without any one raising a finger.
I intend to use 50% of this money to creat an NGO to help the disadvantaged in your country. We will then creat a new company with the remaining 50%.
All the documents concerning this transaction have been arranged by the bank attorney and all I need now is your names and address to fill in the forms.
If you are willing, please let me know. This email and any attachment are confidential and should be treated as such. This is not a scam.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope I have found the right person in you. I am waiting for your reply.
Best Regards.
Adnan Hamoudi.
