Greetings From Dr. Mrs Ibe Charles.
This letter must come to you
as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and
become great friends and business partners. I am Dr. Mrs Ibe charles,
currently Head of Corporate affairs with a reputable bank here in
Dubai -U. A. E. 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, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with
the CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. Ibe AL NASSER made a (Fixed
deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$25,500,000.00
(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 2003, 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. Al NasserÂs
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$25,500,000.00 have
been floating and placed under dormant/unserviceable account by my bank
management since no one have heard from the owner since 2003. 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 checkmating
terrorism aid in the U. A. E. By end of this year, the government will
pass a new financial control law which will give the government
authority to interrogate account owners of above $5,000,000.00 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,
by end of the year 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 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, beside U. A. E is porous and anything goes. 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 God
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 wait your urgent reply.
Regards,
Dr. Mrs Ibe C.
