Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Hansen=20Asuwaneh?=
Hello,
I am Mr. Hansen Asuwaneh, chief Account Auditor of a reputable bank (Name
with-held) in Johannesburg, Gauteng Province in the Republic of South Africa.
I'm presently in Netherlands on a Diplomatic assignment. I have an urgent
and very confidential business proposal, which might be of interest to you.
I got your contact from an administrator of the office of Chamber of Commerce
of your country as a reliable counterpart in my quest for a foreign business
partner for future investment. Frankly, my intent of the business was not
unfolded to her as regards the delicate and the confidential nature of this
deed.
Mr. Bryan Kim was, until his un-timely death, a high esteemed foreign client
with our bank. He was allegedly reported as one the victims of the ghastly
air crash of 'August, 1997 Korean Air flight 801' (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list/).
He had a closing account of the total of US$18,600,000 (Eighteen Million,
six hundred thousand United States Dollars) only, in a fixed deposit account
with our bank. Officially, the mentioned amount is subsequently, expected
to be claimed by any of next-of-kin to the deceased, since he did not fill
a beneficiary/claimant in case of death in his Account Opening Form.
Now having monitored this account until its dormancy over the years and
yet there stands no claimant. We, (Chief Senior Accountants in the operational
Unit and myself), after the 2004/2005 annual general account audition of
the just concluded year, 2004, came up with the decision of running off
this yearly recurring account.
We therefore solicit your assistance to stand as the Next-of-kin and present
a foreign account for the telegraphic transfer of this fund. However, all
other processes shall be under-taken by my colleagues in the Bank and myself,
as it may be.
Do be aware that all modalities and the necessary documents have been worked
out and placed intact, all precautions also taken to ensure a hitch and
risk free venture.
Note; As part of this transaction, we shall be glad to reward you with the
20% of the total sum, 75% for my colleagues and me while the left 5% goes
for unforeseen expenses incurred by both parties. Furthermore, we do want
to stand and rely on your sincerity and trustworthy and do not hope to record
the same case as previous whereby our former longtime foreign (American)
partner made away with the total fund after being successfully transferred.
Also, we demand that you treat this with utmost confidentiality. Please,
if this email is not meant for you, kindly do not attend to it. My deep
regrets.
Looking forward to hearing from you with the below stated contact email
address.
Best regards,
MR. HANS ASUWANEH
