Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Michael Zuma the consulting auditor of ALMAGAMATED BANK OF
SOUTH AFRICA [ABSA] here in South Africa.As a matter of urgency am in a
search for a trustworthy individual or firm has led me to you. I came across
your contact while looking for a worthwhile investments or projects that I
can be affiliated with. I am writing you this letter to ask for your support
and co-operation to carry out this transaction.
The proposition An industrialist and a foreigner who was customer of
my client bank , who died on the 25TH JULY, 2000 in CONCORDE PLANE CRASH
[Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers on board. During the course of my
auditing discovered an account opened in the bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the
account. Since his death, I further investigated with kin interest to see if
I can get any relative of the late industrialist 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 CEO of
his company work with my client bank, he had a balance of $7.400.000USD
{SEVEN MILLION,FOUR HUNDRED UNTIDED STATES DOLLARS} which the bank now
expects a next of kin to claim as beneficiary, Valuable efforts are being
made to get in touch with any of the relatives but to no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
the next of kin and the beneficiary. The management under the influence of
the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors of the bank, are making
arrangement for the funds to be declared "UNCLAIMED" and will be lost to the
Federal Government or subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and
Ammunition to further enhance the course of war in Africa. In order to avert
this negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next of kin to Late beneficiary so that the funds USD36m would be released
and paid into your account as the beneficiary next of kin. We wish to start
the first transfer with $10,000,000.00[Ten 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 a close confidant attorney whom I
must involve in order to assist us produce legal back-up documents which
would substantiate your claims and also enable us have a smooth and
successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are
going to nominate. On this note, We have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiary and more so we are
assuring you this business is 100% risk free involvement 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.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my private email
address(michaelzuma0044@hotmail.com) and telephone number (+27-735-573-380
