DR. COLUMBUS JONE15 BISHOP CLOSE OFF,SYNCO SHEPHSTONE CHAKA SOUTH AFRICA.TEL: +874-763427915: +874-763427918 FAX: +874-763427916(RE:TRANSFER OF (4.2 million USD)Attn:My name is Dr.Columbus jone,I am the operational manager in account management section incharge 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 on EGYPTIANBoeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole passengers aboard. There is an account opened in this bank by this great late diamond and oil magnet who died without a written or oral WILL attatched 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 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 4.2m
USD.[four million two hundred Thousand United States Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with $2,000.000.00 [Two Million] and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate. On this note, I want you to act as the 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.The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 2 years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.In view of this I got your contact through my persona!
l
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 conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process.Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a 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 7 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 send me an e-mail or you can call me or fax. You should also include your private fax and phone
numbers for easy and safe communication.I wait to hear from you.Respectfully yours,Dr.Columbus Jone.
