Subject: PROPOSAL !!!
Dear ,
I am Mr.Samson Igbo, a consulting auditor,NedBank Plc, Johannesburg-South
Africa.I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
THE PROPOSITION:
A Foreigner, a German, Late Mr.Andreas Schranner, a majority stake holder
in Habitat Real Estate Coy South Africa,until his death months ago in 25th
July,2000 CONCORDE plane clash [Flight AF4590]([http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm),banked
with NedBank Plc Johannesburg- South Africa,and had a closing balance as
at the end of November, 2000 worth 25,400.000.00 (this is aside the accrued
interest so far from that date). I discovered an account opened in the bank
in 1998 by this great late Estate Magnate who died without a written or
oral 'WILL' attached to the account with respect to his investment in Habitat
Real Estate Company South Africa.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Mr. Andreas Schranner next of kin (His entire family perished in
that fatal crash) known to the bank, according to the immigration data available
to the bank,that the Management, under the influence of our Chairman and
Members of the Board of Directors,started arrangement for the fund to be
decleared "Unclaimed".
In order to avert this negative development, 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 claims/position
of next of kin and also enable us have a smooth and successful transfer
of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate(can
be an account with a zero blance but not dormant). I contacted you 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 and stand in as distant next of kin to the deceased.
All validating and authenticating documents to enable you get this fund
will be carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate registry,
an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more
so we are assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free. The sharing
ratio after completion of transfer will be thus: 50% for me, 25% for you,
20% to be donated to any charity group in Germany(the deceased country)
and 5% to cover any expenses that may be incurred in the course of completing
the transfer.
Kindly indicate your interest to enable us, with your assistance,move the
fund to the banks offshore clearing houses in Europe by setting up an offshore
current account with the clearing bank because the money is still in a suspense
account and cannot be transfered directly from a suspense account after
documentation.From the offshore account the money will be transfered to
your account.
Please note that for the purposes of confidentiality, all further correspondence
should be through my alternative email address: igbo_2004@fastermail.com
Accept my warm regards as I await your response.
Sincerely,
Mr.Samson Igbo
