Dear Madras,
Thanks for your response. At first I must assure you that this business is totally free of risk and trouble. I wouldn't have involved myself in this transaction if it is not safe. This is my over two decades in banking cycle besides that I am from a royal family and I will never do anything that will tarnish or jeopardize the good image of my family. My word is my bond and I value it more than money.
I contacted you because the owner of this account is a foreigner so this fund can only be approved to a foreigner and into a foreign beneficiary's account, frankly speaking from the bottom of my heart my fear now is the security of this money in your custody on successful transfer into your account?? Beside I don't know you before nor your capability to handle this large amount, what is your age and profession?? I really want to know more of you and I will want you to keep this project very confidential at all times and also to be maintaining constant communications with me knowing that this business should take precedence over any other business for the mean time.
You should give priority attention to this business if you are really capable of handling this business that requires great trust and confidence bearing in mind that this is not a regular business that comes oftenly, It is a God sent opportunity and such opportunity usually comes once in a man's life time. What remains when we return to the Creator? Nothing can be taken with us only the meaning of our actions and memories we leave with others as well. God had made it that both of us will achieve this noble objective and I have no doubt about that. Now it is given to us to divert this life back to humanity.
The fund originated from Investec Bank South Africa where I worked as external auditor and as well as the personal banker to the deceased before his untimely death in 2002. I am 52 years of age. I am from Zuela Family in South Africa with grand children, I cannot do anything that will dent the good name of my great family or tarnish your own image.
I am ready to conclude this business with you hoping that my trust and confidence in you is not in any way misplaced. As such you should send me any of your existing safe bank account detail where you will like the fund to be transferred. It is better we use an already existing account as it can be an active empty or zero account as it is not good to use a virgin account for this purpose. You should send a scan copy of your international passport or ID for proper identification see the attachment for mine.
On receipt of the above information with any of your valid ID for identifications I will then send you an application, which you will fill in and send back for me to forward it to Investec bank on your behalf for them to release the fund on your behalf as the next of kin to the deceased. Be rested of the success of this transaction as the minister have assured me that he will use his influence to facilitate the successful transfer of this fund to your designated account.
On the successful transfer of the fund to your nominated account I fly to your country for sharing and possible investment. You should maintain absolute confidentiality in the transaction to ensure the smooth transfer of the fund to your account this is very important. Therefore you should not let your bank or anybody that this fund is coming into account until we are able to secure all the necessary legal papers and approvals from the appropriate authorities to confirm that you are the real beneficiary of the deceased funds. Then the authority will be issued you international fund clearance certificate to accompany the fund into your account and this will clarify your government /bank that this fund does not originated from drugs, terrorist or money laundry.
Be it know to you that all arrangement for the smooth and success of the business is in place, I only need your full co-operation to achieve this God given opportunity. Let me have your private telephone number to enable me reach you for a heart to heart discussion.
I look forward to your immediate response.
Regards
Richard Zanki.
