DEAR SIR/MADAM,
Compliments Of The Day,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Dr James Veldman, A Top
Management Official of one of the finance corporation in johannesburg, Republic
of South Africa. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable
person/company to handle an important assingment on behalf of my Colleagues
and myself. As a matter of fact, I got your information from International
Affairs Department Of South African Chamber Of Commerce.
Proposition, A German Mr. Wolfgang Schinister, 66 years of age and a prosperous
oil\Gold merchant had in our Bank the sum of $35.5million in a domiciliary
account. Unfortunately, he was killed in the recent plane crash involving
concord AF4590 in Gonesse, France. Efforts had been made by the management
of my bank through the German Embassy in South Africa to contact any of
the deceased children but to no avail, as we were made to understand he
had no children.
Given the skeletal information available to the bank, it has so far been
impossible to reach any of the relatives. The situation left for the Management
is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the Amount to trading
on behalf of the interest of the Bank. In order to avoid this development,
my Colleagues and I now seek your approval to have you stand as a distant
relative to Mr.Wolfgang Schinister,so that the money would be released to
you.
All documents and proofs to enable you get the money will be carefully packaged
once we receive your consent on this proposal.
I shall Apply for a leave as soon as the funds gets into your reliable account
to come to your country for possible sharing and investment opportunity
which you will assist me in doing. May I assure you that this is safe and
risk-free, as we have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a
hitch-free movement. I have the authority of my partners involved in this
assignment to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this, your
share would be 25% and 25% to [CHARITY] which you will use to help the less
previledged in your country, instead of the bank executives reverting this
money to there personal self desire as they are not still contemted with
all they have.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me. Lets utilize this opportunity and help the poor masses.
Best Regards,
Dr.James veldman
[STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL]
