Subject: Next of kin to Late Hamzar Bouyade
Dear Sir/Mam,
I am Anold Ronaldson A Banker By profession,I work with City Capital Bank London England, I have bussines proposition wich I will gladly want to partner with you together,please read details as unvailed below.
In January 2001, a Saudi Arabian Oil Consultant/Contractor (Mr. Hamzar Bouyade) made a numbered-time (fixed deposit) for twenty four calendar months valued at ($25.150 M) TWENTY FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATED DOLLARS Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification of Account status to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After two months, we sent a reminder of same letter,and finally we discovered from his contact employers,(Halliburton Oil Services Company) that Mr. Hamzar died in a Beirut-bound charter jet Plane Cras on the December 26, 2003. Please view more details about the crash:

I have contacted you to assist in securing this money before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such an account remains dormant or non-operational after a period of Seven (7) years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund.
However, attempts has been made twice by the Government Agency concerned to confiscate this account since the expiration of the Seven years if not for my intervention as the head account and audit dept.as I have always told them that the next of kin has been in touch with us.The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner.
Note that this transaction requires utmost confidentiality,get back to me so we can proceed.
Best regards,
Anold Ronaldson
