Subject: BUSINESS FROM LONDON
Atten,
RE:TRANSFER OF 36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT. My name is Dr. james Brown, and I work in the International
Operation Department in a Bank here in London. I feel quite safe dealing
with you in this important business.Though, this medium (Internet) has been
greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains
the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is
unofficial and private, and it should be treated as
such.At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk
and trouble free to both parties.WE WANT TO TRANSFER OUT MONEY FROM OUR
BANK HERE IN LONDON. THE FUND FOR TRANSFER IS OF CLEAN ORIGIN. THE OWNER OF
THIS ACCOUNT IS A FOREIGNER, a program leader.Until his death,The Late
Prime Minister, Mr. Rafik Hariri, has a hugeinvestment here in the United
Kingdom and all over theworld, as a matter of fact he has the sum of(THIRTY
SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGS) in his
account here in London which he deposited as a family valuables.The family
do not know about this deposit.I was on a routine inspection that I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL. Of (THIRTY SIX MILLION
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGS) on further discreet
investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has passed away
(dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account.
The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former
operator of the a/c is a foreigner. I am certainly sure that nobody will
come again for the claim of this money. A foreigner can only claim this
money with legal claims to the account Holder, therefore I need your
cooperation in this transaction.
I will provide all necessary information needed in order to claim this
money, Hoping in God that you will never let me down now and in future.o.k!
Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005), married to
Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon,
and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon (1992-1998 and 2000-2004)
before his last resignation from office on October 20, 2004.The late Rafik
Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg
of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel i n

to(http://www.hariri.info) I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN
ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT
THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES
BEFORE, BUT
BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT
YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
