Subject: GOOD-DAY SIR/MADAM.
I humbly wish to solicit your immediate assistance in an urgent business relationship.I am Mr Lord Harriman. the auditor general of CITIBANK Canary Wharf Cabot Place East, Canary Wharf, London E14 4QS.I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you as business or company excutive.On May 20,2000,an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH PETROLUEM CORPORATION, Mr.Mohammed Al-Qasim Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit)for 24 calendar months, valued at US$65,200,000.00 (Sixty Five Million,two hundred thousand dollars only) in this bank. Upon maturity in 2002,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that Mr.Mohammed Al-Qasim died as a result of torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq. On further investigation I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mohammed Al-Qasim did not declarer any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$65, 200,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2002 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.According to the British law at the expiration of 6 (six) years,The money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the six years is the end of November 2006.
Consequently,my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased 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.It just a little prop from your side.I are 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 me and you. 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 modalities 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 am waiting earnestly to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Mr Lord Harriman.
