Attention,
RE: TRANSFER OF US$48.223 MILLION
[Strictly confidential]
I am Mr.Kemass ryan, the operational manager in account management section
in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in
South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who
perished on EGYPTIAN Boeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole
passengers on board.
He opened an account in this bank and died without a written or oral WILL
attached to the account. Since his death, I personally watched to see the
next of kin 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
manager of his company here in South Africa.
The amount involved is 48, 223,000.00 USD. [Forty eight million, two hundred
and twenty three thousand United States Dollar]. We will start the first
transfer with $8,000,000.00[Eight million]. Upon conclusion without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the
remaining balance.
THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE and should be treated with utmost secrecy
and confidentiality. Furthermore, your area of specialization or country of
origin is not a hindrance to the success of this transaction. We are
presently affected by the South Africa Civil service code of conduct laws
that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign accounts.
I have discussed this issue with the Bank Manager who I must involve for a
smooth and successful transfer of the fund to any account, which you will
provide. However, I want you to act as the next of kin to the deceased by
providing your bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate
investment on any viable project. The banking ethics here does not allow
such fund to stay more than 2 years without claim hence the fund will be
recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed fund after this period of
dormancy.
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
capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal account. At the
conclusion, 65% of the fund will be for me. 20% for you, 10% for charity
both in Africa and in your country and the remaining 5% will be set aside
for expenses both parties might incurred during the transfer process.
Kindly e-mail, fax or call me as soon as you receives this email. You should
also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy communication.
Respectfully yours,
Mr.Kemass ryan.
