Hello,

London. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 2001, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH PETROLUEM CORPORATION Mr. Abdullah Ahmed.

Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit), valued at US$22,500,000.00 (Twenty Two Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity in 2006, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, He British Petroleum Corporation that

Mr. Abdullah Ahmed died as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq.

On urtherinvestigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.

I therefore made furt her investigation and discovered that Mr.Abdullah Ahmed. Did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents, include in his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.

This sum of US$22,500,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2006, in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.
According to the British law at the expiration of 8 (eight) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British

Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the eight years is getting closer
Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as aforeigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account.

All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I are assn ring you that the business is risk free involvement. Your Share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose as I will leave London at the end of the transaction.

The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement between {both of us} that is, you and I. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptances of our mutual business proposal,I will furnish you with the necessary
modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is
