Rep Of South Africa.

Dear Sir/Madam,


I am Mr Dinko Nirris.a consulting auditor of prime banks here in South
Africa. I have the courage to Crave indulgence for this important
business believing that you will never let me down either now or in
the
future.

Some year ago, an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the
South
African Mining corporation, made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for
twelve calendar months, valued $142M.USD (ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO
MILLION
US DOLLARS) in an account. On maturity, The bank sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.

After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract
employers, the South African Mining corporation wrote to inform the
bank
that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American
Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that the
beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained
American
citizenship. He did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official
documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This money total
amount$142M.USD (ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS)is still
sitting in my bank as dormant Account.

No one will ever come forward to claim it, and according to South
African banking policy, after some years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the South African Government if the account owner is
certified
dead. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for
a
foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to beneficiary, and OPEN
a
Bank Account abroad to facilitate the transfer of this money.

This is simple, all you have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in
the world and send me its detail for me to arrange the proper money
transfer paperwork, and facilitate the transfer.The money will then be
paid
into this Account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 % for
you
and 5% for expenses that might come up during transfer process. There
is no risk at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be
done by me using my position and connections in the banks in South
Africa.

This business transaction is guaranteed.And the first phase of the
transfer will be ($42M.USD) FORTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS as advised by
our
insider in the bank.If you are interested, please reply immediately
through
my personal email sending the following details:

(1) Your Full Name/Address

(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.

(3)Your Full Account Details.

Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest some of my share in your country.

I will give to you,My Private:Tele & Fax Number which I bought for
this
business upon your positive response for heart to heart discussion
and
once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with the
instructions of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in
this
business.I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down
now
or in future.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my private email
address.Pls you can reach me throught my private email
account{dinkonirris@yahoo.de)or(dinko_nirris@yahoo.de)

Best Regards,


Mr Dinko Nirris.
