I am MR.ALBERTO KIBEKI, Regional Manager of An Apex Bank in Johannesburg
,South Africa. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On June 6, 1999, a foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the South Africa
Mining Corporation, Mr. Richard Moss made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch.Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers,the South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr.Richard Moss
died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I
found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Richard Moss
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve
Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) is still sitting in my
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end
of each year.No one
will ever come forward to claim it. According to South Africa Law, at the
expiration of 7 (Seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
South Africa Government if nobody applie s to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Richard Moss so that the fruits of this old man's
labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any
part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will
be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40%
for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the Attorney and my position as the Regional Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply via my
email:albertokibeki@excite.com
Thanks and regards.
MR.ALBERTO KIBEKI
