Greetings from Dubai,

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 Hadaf, 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. Morris Thompson 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.Morris Thompson 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. Morris Thompson 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
foreignerand that is why I am contacting you for an assistance.


As the Account Officer to late Morris Thompson , 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 U. 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 Allah
bless you. Please,treat with utmost confidentiality. I shall send you
copy of the deposit certificate issued to you when the deposit was made
for your perusal. I wait your urgent response.

Regards, Mr. Ali Hadaf.
