Mr . Ali Raza .

Greetings from Dubai,

This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is
only a day that people meet and become great friends and business
partners. I am Mr. Ali Raza, currently Head of Coporate affairs with a
reputable bank
here in U. A. E. I write you this proposal in good faith,
believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to
reveal to you.

I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
November 6, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the
CHEVRON PETROLEUM CORPORATION, MR. jack farrer powell made a (Fixed
deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen
Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) in my bank and I happen to
be his account officer before I was moved to my present position
recently. Upon maturity in 2003, as his account officer and as well the
bank manger, it is my duty to notify him on the maturity date so I sent
a routine notification to his forwarding address but the letter was
returned undelivered.

After sometime, I tried sending back the letter, but it was again
returned and finally I discovered from his contract employers, Chevron
Petroleum Corporation that Mr.jack farrer powell died as a result of
torture in the hand of Saddam Hussein (former Iraqi President) during
one of his trips to his country Iraq, as he was accused of leaking
information to the Americans. On further investigation, I discovered
that Mr. jack farrer powell family wife and two sons died during the
Gulf War in Iraq and was the reason why he did not declare any next of
kin or relation in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank and did not leave any WILL. This sum of
US$17,500,000.00 have been floating and placed under
dormant/unserviceable account by my bank management since no one have
heard from the owner since 2003. I wish to let you know that all the
investigation I have made so far, my bank management is not aware of it,
I am the only one that have the information.

With the recent change of government in my country and with their
efforts to support the United Nations in checkmating terrorism aid in
the U. A. E. By end of this year, the government will pass a new
financial control law which will give the government authority to
interrogate account owners of above $5,000,000.00 to explain the source
of the funds, making sure it is not for terrorism support. If I do not
move this money out of the country immediately, by end of the year the
government will definitely confiscate the money, because my bank cannot
provide the account owner to explain the source of the money.

I cannot directly transfer out this money without the help of a
foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance. As the
Account Officer to late jack farrer powell , coupled with my present
position and status in the bank as Head of Retail Banking Groug , I
have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner
that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct
information concerning the account, which I shall give you. All
documents to enable you claim this fund will be carefully worked out
and there is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law, beside N. A. E is porous and anything goes.

If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
If you are interested, contact me as soon as you receive this message so
we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless
you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you copy of
the deposit certificate issued to Al Nasser when the deposit was made
for your perusal. I wait your urgent response.

Regards,
Mr. Ali Raza.
