From Mr.SydneyJaja
20 SILVER CRESCENT,
Johannesburg,South
Greetings,
My name is Mr.SydneyJaja, I am a consulting auditor with one of the
prime
banks here in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign
customer
of my client bank who perished with his whole families on 25TH JULY,
2000
in CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers on
board.
During the course of my auditing work with my client bank, I
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 keen 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.
The total amount involved is $36,000,000.00 USD.[Thirty Six Million
United
States Dollar]. 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, I decided to seek for a reliable
foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be
transferred.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than
six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of dormancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see
if
you can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or
find a reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in
his
or her personal account. At the conclusion of the transfer 65% of the
fund
will be for me, I will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for
charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will
be
set aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the
transfer
process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information
about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that 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.
When you receive this letter. I look forward to your earliest reply
through my private email address olukoyesan@yahoo.co.uk
Respectfully yours,
Mr.sydney Jaja
