Subject: Hello
Hello,
I decided to write you this proposal in good faith, believing that you will
not betray me. I am Mr. Manoj Chawla, a Bank officer here in U.A.E. One Mr.
Peter, a citizen of your country and Crude Oil dealer made a fixed deposit
with my bank in 2005 for 108 calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00
(Thirty Million United State Dollars) the due date for this deposit
contract was last 22nd of January 2013. Sadly Peter was among the death
victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disaster in Java, Indonesia that
killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that
was how he met his untimely end. My bank management is yet to know about
his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his Account
Officer. Peter did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was
opened, he was not married and no children. Last week my Bank Management
requested that Peter should give instructions on what to do about his
funds, if to renew the contract.
I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means to
handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know that
Peter is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for their
personal use, so I don't want such to happen. That is why I am seeking your
co-operation to present you as the Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since
you are a foreigner and my bank head quarters will release the account to
you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law. It is
better that we claim the money, than allowing the Bank Directors to take
it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we
share the funds in this ratio, 50/50%, equal sharing. Let me know your mind
on this and please do treat this information highly confidential. We shall
go over the details once I receive your urgent response. Please Urgently get
back to me through this email address as soon as possible: (

Have a nice day and God bless. Anticipating your communication.
Regards,
Mr. Manoj Chawla
