Attn: Sir/Madam
Firstly, this is not a hoax and l can proove it as long you follow my instruction, I am the manager of Auditing, bill and exchange Foreign Operations Department of Mashreq bank of Dubai. I am writing this message to you following an impressive information l got about you through one of my friend who runs a consultancy firm. He assured me of your capability and reliability, although I did not tell him the details of the business I want to do with you.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $7.5million dollars (Seven
million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along side his entire family in a ghastly plane crash in september 2001.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin
or relation to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relations died
along with him at the crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this funds
behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other
officials in this department now decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for safe keeping/investment and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Gorvernment account as unclaimed funds.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, while the
balance will be for my colleagues and I. I will visit your country for the
disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets
into your account.
Please be honest to me, to enable the immediate transfer of the funds to
you as arranged, you will contact me so l can give you guidelines on what to do.
Upon receipt of your response I will send to you a text of an application with
the name of the deceased and his country and other information about him.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free.
I want you to you to confirm receipt of my working ID through attachment as it was a little bit difficult to attach.
As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me through my e-mail address
Best regards
Mr. Muhammad Khalil.
