Thank you very much
I have already discus this with the bank as i have been in communication with them regarding the money and am very sure they will accept to go ahead with the transfer of the money to you as my partner and trusted person.
To be very honest with you, this money i have opened-up to you is totally genuine and 100% risk-free. I am absolutely assuring you that no trouble or problem is involved in this fund either in the short-run or in the long-run because it's my late Father's money and it was earned legitimately as he worked for it for so many years of his life as a business man before the serious war and killing started. Our properties are among the properties destroyed here due to alot of bombs blast and i have lost mostly everything. That's why i need to recover my late father's money in Dubai bank so i can move on with my life once i am fully recovered and regain my strength.
I have attached documents for the deposit slip deposited by my late Father himself and also the account statement history. I have also attached some pictures of mine and passport for your notice and better understanding of who I am. Yes, just wanted you to be rest assured as am trusting you with my life and everything in me.
Please, just in case you write me and didn't hear from me on time, Just know am getting some rest due to too much stress. I stress myself too much when writing to you and it makes me get tired alot.
Yours
Mariam Abdul

About the domain firstgulfb.com
This domain have a whois protection. However, it is immediately possible to say that we are in front of a site that does not represent First Gulf Bank. When you search on Google the first address that appears is what is listed below. It's also the same link that appears on Wikipedia:

Let's see the contact information available:
We can see that phone numbers and emails are different. Not the same information! We can conclude that it was a site created especially to try to deceive the people that really are in contact with the real bank. Scammers used to use free email services, but they can also register their own domains with names similar to genuine banks and induce even the smartest to mistake.
