Dear Sir/madam

I was checking through an economic mailing list belonging to a group of personal and business gazette magazine. I was really amazed and fascinated to have noticed that the new updated database has increased with new interesting members.

Since, you have been listed in the database; I will make the first initiative by introducing myself to you. My name is Dr Taofiq Sabatin, a retired chief economist and also financial adviser of various world and business leaders in the field of project management, account management etc.

During my years as chief economist and a consultant, I have made sure to bring up the best of me in my field of play. My last contract was with the just passed away Lebanese Prime Minister, Mr Rafik Hariri, who passed away in early days of February.

During my association with him, we did undertake a lot of projects which I was the main pillar behind the facilitation and was also responsible for all the design works in all projects that, I did initiate were successfully completed beyond schedule.

But there was one project left behind completion which was the Mineral Exploration project for a grant to foreign investor, which his Excellency and I was the only individual who new about the existence of the projects. This was a project to attract and encourage new business opportunity for employment and growth in the country.

Before the beginning of the project, his Excellency allocated funds needed for the completion of the project from start to finish and was located in an account which I and his Excellency were the only had full control access to the funds in the account. As you know from what was said about Mr. Hariri, he was a very wealthy businessman and did what was needed of him as a father, leader and citizen of Lebanon.

As a matter of fact, since the death of his Excellency the project has come to a halt and the funds are still in the custody of the bank, which my intention is to get these funds out of the said bank account. All attempts, I have done to reimbursed the money in the account of the family have proved futile because knowing my involvement with his Excellency and the project would involve me and as such we need an independent person to apply for the loan (Note that this grant is not repayable).

At this moment, the funds are located in another account in Europe, where after been approved the payment would be made from European. But what I need from you now is that, if you owe a company or you are an investor willing to invest in Lebanon with a bank account that can allow large transfer, and then these funds can be directed to your account as a grant. The most interesting thing about this, is that the bank would contact me to approve the grant

I must stress that, I am a very busy man and would not tolerate only unserious and reliable person to take up this proposal,

Do reply to my via my private email box

Thanks Dr Taofiq Sabatin

The newly-deceased make great clients - never a complaint out of 'em!

Would that be in the hereafter, perhaps?

Reliable comedians need not apply! You must be unreliable and very dull.

Very astute and searching analysis, Ms. Paddy!

Are you sure you're not a writer for Sid Caesar, in disguise?

Why don't these scammers make enough money to hire someone who can really write English? That goes for the instructions in alot of consumer products also!

It doesn't matter. Anyone who buys into a such a scam, especially after all these years of warnings and publicity, lacks the wherewithal to care about, let alone notice, bad grammar, syntax and spelling.

I imagine this stuff is written as badly in all languages. Maybe it's machine translated.

I don't think even three quarters of the American population uses correct grammar
so i think he takes that into consideration when writing his 'scams'
