Subject: URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED
Dear Associate,** I am Barrister Stephen Gardo of South Africa Law Firm an=
d a legal adviser to *Engineer Hussein ASHOK,* a national of *INDIAN,* who=
used to be a contractor with *(ANGLO GOLD MINES)* Mafikeng. Gold Mining /=
Exploration Corporation in South Africa hereinafter shall be referred to =
as my client. On February 21, 2005 my client, his wife and their three chi=
ldren were involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfort=
unately lost their lives. Since then I have made several personal inquirie=
s from the embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this ha=
s also proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I now dec=
ided to inform you, hence I contacted you. I have send you this letter to =
assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get =
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit =
were lodged, particularly the First National Bank of South Africa, where t=
he deceased had an account valued at about *US$18,000,000.00* *(Eighteen M=
illion United States Dollars* *only)* has issued me a notice to provide th=
e next of kin or have the account confiscated though there are persons of =
same nationals here in South Africa non of them is a direct relative with =
the deceased and no one had an idea of this deposit. Since I have been uns=
uccessful in locating the relatives for over a period of time, I seek your=
consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased because the ban=
k is willing to approve this money to anybody that I will present as a rel=
ative to *Mr. Hussein ASHOK,* so that the proceeds of this account valued =
at *US$18,000,000.00* (Eighteen Million United States Dollars only) can be=
transferred into your designated account and I shall proceed down to your=
country on confirmation of the fund in your account to discuss with you o=
n how to invest the money. Meanwhile you will be required here *(South Afr=
ica)* to endorse your signature on some of the documents as the next of ki=
n to the deceased once the fund has been approved by the bank. I shall rev=
alidate and notarize all the necessary legal documents that can be used to=
back up any claim that the bank may need, this is a risk free transaction=
because the banker who is in charge of account section is involved. I hav=
e resolved to give you *25% (US$4,* *500, 00.00)* for your assistance in t=
his transaction, *5% (US$900,000.00) *will be set aside for any expenses t=
hat will be incurred by both parties during the course of this transaction=
and the remaining *70% (US$12,600,000.00)* will be for me. I guarantee yo=
u this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect y=
ou from any breach of the law. Please contact me through this e-mail addre=
