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

For the Bank.
