Greetings From RICHARD PARLEE
..
This letter is not intended to cause any form of embarrasments, but
ratherintended to contact your highly esteemed self. I am writing to
seek your consent in a private and confidential matter regarding some
funds unaccounted for in our bank here in London during the last 2007
business year.I need assistance from a trustworthy and reliable
Foreigner whom I will fillin as the beneficiary.
Your major role would be to provide either an existing bank account or
to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money and
get 30% of the total funds as commission. There are practically no
risks involved, thetransaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law, it will be
simply a Bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as
the eneficiary (next of kin)so that my head office can order the transfer
to your designated bank account under few working days.
I am RICHARD PARLEE, the regional manager of Bank Of Scotland Limited,
and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with five
lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send in financial
report to my head office in the capital city at the end of each
business year. On the course of the last year 2007 business report, I
discovered the sum of Twentysix million eight hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterlings 26,850,000.00. The fund is of clean origin. The owner of this account is a foreigner, a program leader.Untill his death. The Late Prime Minister,Mr. Rafik Hariri
..
I will provide all necessary information needed in order to claim this
money. Hoppingin God that you will never let me down now and in future. ok!
Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1,1944 - February 14, 2005), 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 theSaint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital. Our head
office is not aware of Funds and will never be aware of it. I have placed
this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary and as an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, hence i contacted you. If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this particular transaction.
We will start the first transfer with sixteen million pounds, upon
successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we
shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your
account. At this juncture i wish to tell you what prompted me to package
this deal. I have a 9-year old daughter who has leukemia, disease of the blood, and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this transplanting to be done in any good children hospital in your country if there is one.
Once this fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign from
my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country. I would
be grateful if you would help me in looking out for good investment
oppurtunities with my own part of the money in a very profitable
business.
I have worked for this bank for the past 15 years yet I have nothing to
show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as
soon as possible. as soon as you receive this message if you think we
can work together, so that we can go over the details. Send also your
Private mobile phone and fax nos: for more proper elaborrations.
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH MY PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER +44-7024052417
Truly yours,
MR RICHARD PARLEE
