Dear Friend,
I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal, I Got your e-mail address in Internet while browsing after I decided
to contact you and ask for your assistance in this urgent matter, requiring trust and confidentiality,
I am Mr, Mohammad Saleem Ahmed, the Branch manager, National Bank of london Umm Al Quwain Branch (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES), married with four children. I am
writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department,
On June 6, 1999, an America Oil consultant/contractor with Petroleum Corporation, Mr. David Ameeraly, made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve
calendar months, Valued at US$16,500,000.00(sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars )in my branch upon maturity.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 Petroleum Corporation that
Mr. David Ameeraly, died in the plane crash On October 31, 1999, (an Egyptian Boeing 767 Flight 990) with other passengers on board as you can confirm it
yourself via the website below,
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a will and attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. David Ameeraly. did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his bank
deposit paperwork in my bank. This sum of of US$16,500,000.00 and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will ever come forward to claim it According to (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of (eight) years; the money will revert to the ownership of
the (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
I have taken my time to explain to you the intricacies associated with this transaction, so that you may be able to compare notes with what you might have
previously received from impersonators. And above all, to give you the needed feeling of mutual confidence needed to for us to conclude this transaction,
that I believe will help both of us achieve financial buoyancy in a very short while. This is what I am proposing:
(1) In order for the bank not to transfer the said sum of sixteen Million, Five Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand Dollars ($16,500,000.00) as unclaimed
funds to the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds most be claimed immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. David Ameeraly, partner.
(2) The Bank’s Attorney/Legal Secretary shall prepare all necessary documents relating to the transfer of ownership. A sworn affidavit empowering you as
the next of kin to the deceased and a probate administration document shall be served the bank after being duely notarized. This will serve as a legal
document backing this claim.
(3) You will be required to provide an account and its details to our bank for the said funds to be transferred, as you shall then be regarded as the next
of kin to the deceased. This information I will need you to urgently provide.
I am a meticulous, fair and rational individual when it comes to the area of sharing proceeds. Therefore I am willing to offer you 40% of the total sum to
be transferred. The remaining 60% shall be me. I believe this is equitable enough.
Finally, I can assure you that the above proposed transaction is fool proof, considering the fact that I am the branch manager who shall authorize the
transfer, and again, since we shall ensure that we fulfill all the bank’s requirements relating to transactions of this manner
Therefore I can guarantee you that you shall not be liable to exposure in anyway imaginable. I shall need to be able trust you, as much as you will need to
do the same about me. Therefore, I shall advice you to kindly reply my email, depicting acceptance in good faith of my proposal. Upon receipt of your
reply, I shall furnish you with relevant documents that will help guide and ensure your optimum understanding of the above stated transaction.
Additionally,
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your
assistance to invest my share in your country.
Please upon the receipt of this mail message, send to me the following to enable me start the processing the transfer, reply to him.
