Attn Friend.


The inspiration to contact you is simply divine
providence, I am making
this proposition because I have to seek the
partnership of a resource
person to help me realize this project. I am DR SHONBRUNN
FISHER Head of
Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank AG London
Winchester House 1
Great Winchester Street London EC2N 2DB LONDON UNITED
KINGDOM. I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you. In january
2002 I was attending a business investment conference
In Switzerland and I
got introduced to a reknowned business man Mr Bassam
Qubba a top Iraqi
Foreign Ministry Director He engaged my services as an
investment
banker.

Deutsche Bank AG London and my primary assignment was
to
spearhead his investment forays in the United Kingdom
due to the war in
his country.Three months later I invited him to London
and under my
professional guidance and based on my advice he made a
numbered time
(fixed) deposit for 24 calendar months valued at GBP
£20,320,000.00
(Twenty million three hundred and twenty thousand
Great British Pounds
Sterling in my branch due to the problem in his
country. Upon maturity
in 2004, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and
finally we
discovered from the embassy here in london that Mr
Bassam Qubbaa on
the 12th June 2004 aged 60, was assassinated on his
way to work in
Baghdad's Al-Adhamiya district. On further
investigation, I found out
that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to
trace his next
of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation into the
account and discovered that Mr Bassam Qubbaa did not
declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents,


including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This
sum GBP
£20,320,000.00(Twenty million three hundred and
twenty thousand Great
British Pounds Sterling has been floating as unclaimed
since 2002 in my bank as

all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones .
Meanwhile he was
doing this cladenstingly by virture of his position as
a public
servant. According to the British law at the
expiration of 4 (four)
years,the money will revert to the ownership of the
British Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund and the four years will
elapse by the end of
2006. Consequently,my proposal is that i want to seek
your consent as a
foreigner to present you to stand in as the next of
kin to late Bassam
Qubba so that the bank will transfer the money to your
designated
account. All documents and proves to enable you get
this fund will be
carefully worked out.


I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus
to locate any of
the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring
you that the
business is risk free involvement. Your share stays
while the rest be
for me and for investment purpose as I will leave
London by the end of the
year. The sharing of the funds will be based according
to agreement
within you and I. As soon as i receive an
acknowledgement of receipt of this
message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal,
I will furnish
you with the necessary steps to follow and
disbursement ratio to suit
both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is
acceptable by
you,do not take undue advantage of the trust i have
bestowed in you. I
think its also necessary you know more about Mr Bassam
Qubba,


so kindly
