Subject: Hello
Hello,
I decided to write you this proposal in good faith, believing that you will
not betray me. I am Mr. Abdulla Abdulrahman Qassem, 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 2018. Sadly Peter was among
the death victims in the Outbreak disease in China. He was in China 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 the bank official will ask for his contract renew and that is why I
have been looking for a means to handle the situation, because if the Bank
officials 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 the 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. Abdulla Abdulrahman Qassem
