Dear Friend
My name is Mr. Cliff Jonathan and I work in the
International Operation Department in a Bank here in
London.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.
WE WANT TO TRANSFER OUT MONEY 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, Until his death,
The Late Prime Minister, Mr. Rafik Hariri, has a huge
investment here in the United Kingdom and all over the
world, as a matter of fact he has the sum of (Thirteen
Million, Four Hundred and fifty Thousand Pounds STERLINGS)
in his account here in London which he deposited as a family
valuables.The family do not know about this deposit. I was
on a routine inspection that I discovered a dormant
domiciliary account with a BAL. Of 13,450,000.00 (Thirteen
Million, Four Hundred and fifty Thousand Pounds STERLING'S).
On further discreet investigation, I also discovered that
the account holder has passed away (dead) leaving no
beneficiary to the account.The bank will approve this money
to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a
foreigner.I am certainly sure that nobody will come again
for the claim of this money. A foreigner can only claim this
money with legal claims to the account Holder, therefore I
need your co-operation in this transaction.
I will provide all necessary information needed in order to
claim this money, Hoping in God that you will never let me
down now and in future. OK! Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri
(November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005), married to Nazek
Audi Hariri,was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and
business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of
Lebanon (1992-1998 and 2000-2004) before his last
resignation from office on October 20, 2004.
The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when
explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated
as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the
Lebanese capital, for more information please log on to
(http://www.hariri.info ).
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. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL
NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
Regards
Mr Cliff Jonathan
