DEAR,
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. IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT (FORTY FOUR MILLION
POUNDS STERLINGS) 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 who was believed to acquire the fund through his
secret Crude Oil deal with the Former IRAQI Government.The deceased died
with all the members of his family in an auto-accident in February 14, 1999,
without a WILL. The amount involved is [44, 000, 000.00 POUNDS STERLINGS]. 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.
