Subject: Waiting To Hear From You
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Farahnaz, I am the Financial Auditor to Late
Mr. Lehman Fernandez of Spain but residence in Iraq. I
was his financial accountant until his death in the
year 2006. He lost his life in a suicide bomb attack
on a supermarket next to his family residence in Iraq,
the bomb killed him and his entire family (wife, and
two children). As his financial auditor to his
business and personal accountant, I have been
contacted severally by his bank in the United Arab
Emirates to produce his next of kin so that his funds
with the bank can be transferred to his next of kin.
But from all indications and proper investigations by
me, my late client (late Mr. Lehman Fernandez) did not
indicate in his official bank papers/document any next
of kin to his fixed deposit.
I traveled to Dubai United Arab Emirates to hold
series of meetings with his bank and I was informed
late last year by his bank that if at the end of this
year I do not submit an introduction letter before
them, introducing the next of kin to the bank, then
the funds would be allocated to the government
account. From my financial/banking experience, I have
all required documents that will facilitate the bank
to release the funds to you without any delays. I have
the certificate of deposit which is the only required
bank document by the bank to release the funds to you
once I introduce you as the next of kin with an
introduction letter before the bank. For this reason,
I am contacting you work with me in this transaction
so we can both have the funds remitted to your account
in your country by the bank. I shall place you as the
next of Kin and provide your information before the
bank as the next of Kin so that the funds can be
released to you and transferred directly to your
account in your country.
The total amount fixed by my late client is $8,200,000
(Eight Million, two hundred thousand dollars), this
shall be shared by me and you at the end of this
transaction in a percentage of 60% for me and 40% for
you. All that is required of you at this stage is just
your response indicating your interest with your
names, occupation and telephone number for easy
communication. Once I get this information from you, I
shall send you all required document and also draft
the letter of introduction in your name so that the
funds would be released to you by the bank.
I await your response, thank you,
May ALLAH bless you
Regards
Mrs. Fara
