STRICTLY FOR YOU & NEEDS URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE!
My Name Is MR. JOHN ZUMA, The Bank Manager Of The Above Named Bank. I
Have A Good Business Proposition For You Which I Know By That, By The
Special Grace Of God Will Be Beneficial To You.
Firstly Before I Proceed, I Have To Assure You That This Mail Is Neither
Junk, Illusion Nor Mere Imagination, But Practically Achievable If
Given Your Maximum Support And Cooperation.
In June 1994, Mr. Paul Anderson An American Civil Engineer With The
Southern African Institute Of Steel Construction, (Saisco) Deposited The
Sum Of $29.8 million Us Dollars With Our Bank On A Three Year Fixed
Deposit Basis. With His Son Mr Greg Anderson Registered As The Next Of Kin
/ Beneficiary To The Account. After The Three Years Expired, Mr. Paul
Anderson Was Not Seen Nor Heard From Even The Son Who Is The Beneficiary,
Nothing Was Heard From Him .
So I Decided To Roll It Over. Since Then It Has Been Rolling Over .I
Have Sent Mails, Faxes To His Numbers And Addresses Given Still No
Response. I Was Forced To Contact The (Saisco) He Has Been Working With
But Was Surprised To Hear That He And The Son Died In An Auto Crash Just A
Year After He Deposited The Money With Us. May His Soul Rest In Peace.
The South African Law States That, In Cases Like This, The Money Should Be
Returned To The Government Account. I Am Seriously Against Returning This
Old Mans Sweat To The Govt. Account, Because One Of The Officials Will
Steal This Money From The Govt Account,
So I have Decided To Divert This Money To My Own Private Use. Already I
Have Used My Good Contact To Withdraw This Money & transfer it to South
African Reserve Bank for smooth and successful transfer of the fund.
I Am Writing for You To Assist Me In Safekeeping Of This Money As Well As
For Investment Purposes. You Are To Take 30% Of The Total Sum For Your
Assistance, 5% to take care of all the expenses incurred during this
transaction, while The Remaining Will Be For my Investment in your Country.
On Receipt Of Your Acceptance Letter, And A Mutual Agreement Is Reached
Between Us, I Will Send To You All The Vital Documents Relevant To This
Transaction.
Anticipating Your Urgent And Favourable Response To This Business
Proposition.
Please I am counting on you.
Best Regards,
MR. johnzuma
