You know the Nigerian scam about transfer of funds that usually promises you about $50 million if you only use your accounts to help someone move their money out of the country? Well, here's a new twist... Now it's money coming out of Iraq!!! I've got my first email already...
Dear Sir,
My writing you this letter is necessitated by my
inner most desire to seek your assistance in a business that
requires high confidentiality and trust.
I am Mr Mani George,supervisor for customers services
with Finance Bank for eight years now.I have been managing and
monitoring a customer's account worth USD39M{ Thirty Nine Million
United States Dollars}.
The customer who is an expatriate from Iraq,Mr.Nazral Ali,ran away
from Iraq and settled down here as a political refugee,but does
not have a trace of his family because the incumbent Sadam Hussein
of Iraq eliminated all his family members immediately he ran away
as an opposition to Sadam's government.Mr.Nazral Ali is now late
and nobody has come forward for any claim of his money in our custody
since three years now after his death.
I hereby seek your cooperation and compromise with me,because I am
in a position to make every necessary changes to your name as the
appropriate beneficiary and a relation to Mr.Nazral Ali,and this
money will be moved to your custody pending my arrival to your
country to open an account and lodge the money.We could go into
investment negotiation based on your advice.For your involvement,I
suggest we share the money 75% for me and 25% for
you.Nevertheless,I assure you of every authenticity and risk-free
of this business proposal.
Contact me and furnish me with your comprehensive bank
information for us to progress as my time for
retirement is almost at hand.If you wish not to use
your current account number,may be due to security
reasons,we can equally open a fresh account for the
business.
Please,treat with absolute maturity,reservation and
kindness even if you are not interested to work with
me,waiting to hear from you soonest.
Hold my dealings in strict confidence.
Sincerely,
Mani George
