AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH
AFRICA JOHANNESBURG
TELL 27 72 138 1752.
I am Mr.zuma musa hanim, the director incharge of auditing and accounting
section of Standard bank of South africa .with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
november 2002 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account
with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his
family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea to be profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount was the sum of u.s $30.5
million United State Dollars.
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my
good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business
relations here in south africa.
It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to
champion a
business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile, all the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide NEXT OF KIN to the deceased, get the required approvals and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directives and all needed informations will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
yourself to this great business opportunity.
Infact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, I am not allowed to operate a foreign bank
account.
I would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the NEXT OF KIN with affidavit of trust of oath to
the bank and also present a foreign bank account number where he will need
the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due
verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where
the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will
be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set
aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone/fax bills, and
60% will be for me and my partners.
Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service
and intend to retire from
service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank untill you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country
for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated.
All other necessary informations will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish to this
deal.
Yours faithfully
Mr.zuma musa hanim,
director incharge of auditing and accounting section.
