Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Jerry D.Lee. 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.
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 look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Mr.Jerry D.Lee.
