Subject: TREAT AS URGENT PLS
DR JOHN ZAMBADI
OPEC SECRETARIAT,
OBERE DONAUSTRASSE
93 A-1020 VIENNA- AUSTRIA
Attention Please,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise since we have not known
or met before
now, but please, I would like you to treat it like blood brother affair and
with the urgency
and secrecy it requires. I am Dr. John Zambadi, the past chairman of OPEC
and the Head of
Delegation of the World Bank in Middle East. I am the linkman between the
Organization for
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the World Bank in Middle East.
Through the indirect sale of our allocated Oil Quota in OPEC before the out
break of war
between the USA lead coalition forces and Saddam Hussein Government, I was
able to make
US$5.7 million from commissions I received from the company which executed
some contracts
there in the middle east ON Behalf of OPEC, this fund is currently deposited
in a top
European Security and Finance company and I want you to assist me to claim
this money as I
cannot claim it directly because I am still in the service of OPEC and World
Bank and the
code of conduct bureau forbids me to participate in the sale of Oil quota
with my company's
name. It is on this basis that I am contacting you for assistance in moving
this fund into
your account for my further investment plan.
If you will be interested to assist me to claim this money, claim documents
will be
processed and send to you. The documents with which the fund is deposited
with the security
company will be changed to reflect you as the new beneficiary so that you
will be eligible
to collect the fund as the beneficiary. For your assistance, I will give you
30% of the
fund. I am aware of the international monitoring of all large-scale
financial movements
after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack on America and to avoid any
state of
financial investigation, I will provide all classified clearance paper from
the relevant
body which will exonerate the money from drug, money laundry or terrorist
related proceeds.
Due to the nature of my profession, I am now in OPEC head office in VIENNA
AUSTRIA, after
the Iraq and the Coalition Forces War as we have become targets of terrorist
attack.
Kindly respond to my proposal through this my private E-mail address if you
are willing to
do this transaction with me, reply immediately and I want to assure you that
there is no
risk attached in this transaction. You should also provide me with your
private telephone
and fax numbers for easier communication. As soon as I hear from you, I will
now furnish you
with the modalities for the smooth and efficient execution of this
transaction.
Expecting your response and treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality.
Best regards,
DR JOHN ZAMBADI
