(RE;TRANSFER OF
$36,000,000.00(Thirty Six Million USD)
Attn:
Mr/Mrs,
Do not be
perplexed with this note. I feel quite safe dealing with you in this
important business having gone through your remarkable profile on the
internet. Through this medium internet, I choose to reach you through
it because it still remains the fastest medium of
communication.
However,this correspondence is unofficial and Private,and it should be
treated assuch.
My name is Mr.Micheal Iverson and I work in the
International Operation Department in a Bank here in Africa. On a
routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a
BAL. Of $36,000,000.00(Thirty Six Million USD) on further discreet
investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has long since
passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will
approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the
a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in particular and I am certainly sure
that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the claim of this money
A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account
Holder, therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.
I will
provide the necessary information needed in order to claim this money,
But you will need to open an account where this can be transferred. If
interested send your private Telephone No. And Fax number including
full details of the account to be used for the Deposit I wish for
utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction as my job and the
future of my family would be jeopardized if it were breached.
I want
to assure you that the transaction is without risk if due process is
followed accordingly.
Finally, I will give you 45% for your
corporation.Contact immediately for more information.
Your's Regard.
Mr.Micheal.
