Subject: Mr. Sengupta Sunil
Good Day,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am Mr. Sengupta Suni, Working with a reputable bank in U. A. E. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On SEPTEMBER 28, 2002 , an American Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the "SAUDI ARAMCO", Mr. David Packard made a (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$7,500, 000.00 (Seven Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his account officer before I was moved to my present position recently. Upon maturity in 2003,as his account officer and as well the bank manager, it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but the letter was returned undelivered.
After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was again returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers, "SAUDI ARAMCO" that Mr. David Packard died on a plane crash during one of his trips to an offshore location in Europe . On further investigation, I discovered that Mr. David Packard made the fixed deposit for a business transaction he wanted to carry out in Emirates and that was the reason why he did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents, issues relating to the deposit were not sited in his will as the deposit was meant to be for a fixed duration. This sum of US$7,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard from the owner since 2005. I wish to let you know that all the investigation I have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it; I am the only one that has the information.
I have been asked by bank Management to present the next of kin to these funds and have the funds certified in a new account or transferred out. In line with bank regulations, such funds will be certified as unclaimed and turned in to government treasury after the expiration of a certain period of time.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without your help as a foreigner and that is why i contacting you for assistance. As the Account Officer to late Mr. David Packard, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you and all documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out and there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law, beside U. A. E is porous and anything goes.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to provide me with your contact informations, including your contact number and also I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over to the details.
Thanking you in advance, please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
RegardsMr. Sengupta Sunil
