Mr.Vetis Kostas
NOVA BANK
ATHINAS BRANCH

GLYFADA ROAD
ATHENS GREECE
Let me start by introducing myself, I
am Mr.Vetis Kostas, auditing operations Dept of Nova Bank of Greece . I have an
urgent business suggestion for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I
do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting you through this means for a
transaction of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt
access reposed on this
Medium. Furthermore, due to this issue on my hands
now, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance, and it is imperative
for me to know your opinion.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our
client Major Fadi Bassem who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
US$10.500.000(Ten Millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) only in
my branch.
Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even
during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the Major and
his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi
Bassem did not declare any next-of-kin in his official papers Including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was
at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank.
So, (Ten Millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars)
is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What
bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 3
years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Greece Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion
to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next-of-kin to
Major Fadi Bassem so that you will be able to receive his funds. WHAT IS TO BE
DONE?
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful.
I have contacted an attorney
that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the
next-of-kin to Major Fadi Bassem all that is required from you at this stage is
for you to provide me with your Full Name, Nationality and BANK A/C, Address so
that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made
the next-of-kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and
secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move
of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is
no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized
method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated
bank account we shall Share in the ratio of 60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for
any expenses incur during the transaction.
Your earliest response
to this letter will be appreciated.
