My Dear Friend ,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal which I believe
would be of great interest to you. I am Mr.Ateeq Rahman Khan, currently Head
of Corporate affairs with a reputable bank here. I write you this proposal
in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am
about to reveal to you.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
November 6, 2003, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the
CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. KHALIL AL NASSER made a (Fixed deposit)
for 36 calendar months, valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five
hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to be his account
officer before I was moved to my present position recently.
Upon maturity in 2005, as his account officer and as well the bank manger,
it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but the letter was returned
undelivered after sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was
again returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers, Chevron
Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Khalil Al Nasser died as a result of torture
in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President) during one of his
trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking information to the
Americans.
On further investigation, I discovered that MR. KHALIL AL NASSER. family
wife and two sons died during the Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he
did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not leave any WILL
This sum of US$17,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under
dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have heard
from the owner since 2005.
I wish to let you know that all the investigation I have made so far, my
bank management is not aware of it, I am the only one that have the
information. With the recent change of government in my country and with
their efforts to support the United Nations in check mating terrorism aid ,
the government will pass a new financial control law which will give the
government authority to interrogate account owners of above $5.000. to
explain the source of the funds, making sure it is not for terrorism
support. If I do not move this money out of the country immediately, the
government will definitely confiscate the money, because my bank cannot
provide the account owner to explain the source of the money.
I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a foreigner
and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance. As the Account
Officer to late MR. KHALIL AL NASSER, coupled with my present position and
status in the bank as Head of Retail Banking Group, I have the power to
influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the
next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the
account, which I shall give you.
All documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out and
there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law,
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. If you are
interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so we can go over
the details. Thanking you in advance and may Almighty Allah bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you copy of the
deposit certificate issued to Al Nasser when the deposit was made for your
perusal.
I will like you to provide me with the following details ;
1) your direct mobile/fax number.
(2) your name and country resident address.
(3) Your private E-mail box.
Then I shall furnish you with due process of concluding this transaction
without any delay.
Regards
Mr.Ateeq Rahman
