Re: Private and Confidential
I have interest of investing in your country as well as seek your services in a private and confidential matter. My Name is Abbas Ali, a citizen of United Kingdom a Iran national; I am a senior Auditor heading computing department here in our bank Islamic Bank of Britain, our website: http://www.islamic-bank.com. On my routine inspection I discovered that the sum of £15.5 Million GBP was deposited into an account that has been dormant for over Six years. The account belongs to the late Dr. Mohammed Azim, a Citizen of Iran naturalized in United Kingdom and a contractor. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or business associate's to come and claim his funds because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. But unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. You can read more about the crash on visiting this site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1815680.stm I write to seek your indulgence and assistance in transferring this fund to your country through legal means as next of kin or business associates. I am proposing to make this transfer to a designated bank account of your choice in your country for investment. At the conclusion of this transaction, you will be given 40% of the total amount, 5% will go on every expenses during the transaction, on the condition that you will help me to invest my own 55% in your country.If you can handle this deal, do not hesitate to give me your phone number and contact address through my email. Regards, Abbas Ali
