transaction.

THE PROPOSITION:

the federal Govenment of South Africa, until his death three years ago in
a ghastly air crash, banked with us here at Standard Bank of South Africa
Limited,and had a closing balance of ( Thirty Eight Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now
unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next
of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for alms
and ammunition at a military
war college here in South Africa.
Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with
any of the Creek family or relatives but all have proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate
any of late Engr. edgar Creek's next of kin (he had no known wife and children)
that the management under the influence of our Chairman, board of directors,
Retired Major General Desmond Makemba, that an arrangement for the fund
to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the Trust
Fund for Alms and Ammunition which will further enhance the courses of war
in Africa and the world in general. In order to avert this negative development,
myself and some of my trusted colleagues here at the bank now seek for your
permission to have you stand as late Engr. edgar Creek's next of kin so
that the fund,would be subsequently transferred and
paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin. All documents
and proves to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and
we are assuring you a hundred percent risk free involvement.

has been set aside for expenses while the rest would be for myself and my
colleagues for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is
OK. by you and you do not wish to take advantage of the trust we hope to
bestow on you and your company, then kindly get to me immediately via my
