letter from david wood ( london )

greetings ,

i am david wood the bank manager of citibank 332 oxford street , london wln

9 aa . i have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you . on

june 6 , 1997 , an iraqi foreign oil consultant / contractor with the british

petroluem corporation mr . haffez al sadique .

made a numbered time ( fixed deposit ) for 36 calendar months , valued at us $ 20 , 500 , 000 . 00

( twenty nine million five hundred thousand dollars only ) in my branch . upon

maturity in 2000 , i sent a routine notification to his forwarding address

but got no reply .

after a month , we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract

employers , the british petroleum corporation that mr . haffez al sadique

died as a result of torture in the hand of sadam hussein during one of his

trips to his country iraq . on further investigation ,

i found out that he died without making a will , and all attempts to trace

his next of kin was fruitless . i therefore made further investigation and

discovered that mr haffez al sadique . did not declare any kin or relations

in all his official documents , including his bank deposit paperwork in my

bank .

this sum of us $ 29 , 500 , 000 . 00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2000

in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones .

according to the british law at the expiration of 8 ( eight ) years , the money

will revert to the ownership of the british government if nobody applies

to claim the fund and the eight years is the end of december 2004 .

consequently , my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner

to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased

so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account . all

documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked

out . i have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any

of the deceased beneficiaries , and more so i are assuring you that the business

is risk free involvement . your share stays while the rest be for me and

for investment purpose as i will leave london by the end of the year .

the sharing of the funds will be based according to agreement within me

and you . as soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message

in acceptance of our mutual business proposal , i will furnish you with the

necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without

any conflict . if this proposal is acceptable by you , do not take undue advantage

of the trust i have bestowed in you .

please , appreciate the fact that doing business over the internet is risk .

endeavor to send your confidential telephone and fax number in your reply

to this business .

god bless you .

mr david wood
