FROM:MR.JOE FRED,
10 BANK AVENUE,
JOHANESBOURG
SOUTH AFRICA.
Hello,
Do not be astornished as to why you are recieving this mail but becuase of
the huge importance of it coming to you at this point in time.
My name is Mr. Joe Fred, I am the operational manager in the account
management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime
banks here in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of
my bank who perished with his whole families on 25TH JULY 2000 in CONCORDE
PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590]with the whole passengers aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the
account. Since his death, I personally has watched with keen interest to see
the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds, I have also seek by my Lawyer to know is the Deceased have any
relations behind him but know prove, I have verify very well and observe
that the Deceased man have know relations behind him again that knows about
his fund in our Bank and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and
until his death he was the manager of his company.
The total amount involved is 35,000,000.00 USD.[ Thirty Five Million United
States Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with
$15,000,000.00[Fifteen million US Dollars] and upon successful transaction
without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the
transfer of the remaining balance of $20,000,000.00 [Twenty Million Dollars]
to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the bank
who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of
the fund to your Bank account, we are going to give the general manager 5%
of the total sum upon the successful transfer of the fund to your account. I
decided to seek you to act as the rightful foreign beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased by providing your bank account where the fund will be
transferred, for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has
come up to be the next of kin, as I am going to
get all the regal document to prove that you are the rightful beneficiary of
the fund.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay long without claim
hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed
after more long period of dormancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you
can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a
reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her
personal account. At the conclusion of the transfer 55% of the fund will be
for me, I will give you 35% of the total transfer sum, 5% for the General
while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties
might incurs during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you detailed information
about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 8 to 9
banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly reply back through my private
mailbox(infobox@post.com)so i will tell you the next action to take
immediately.
I wish you well, waiting to hear from you.
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Joe Fred.
