Subject: An Offer of Increased business expansion.
Mr. Salim Benadi,
Ex-Auditor, Uthukela Pension Funds(currently liquidated),
Johannesburg, South-Africa.
My compliments to you,First of all I apologize for invasion of your privacy but please go through this correspondence because it has been a tasking decision to get in contact with you for favorable assistance that would put you in place as a Beneficiar
y / next of kin with respect to some money(substantial enough) which belongs to a deceased member of the pension funds I was administering and personally paying out beneficiaries in my capacity as an Auditor. This Pension fund, Uthukela is presently fol
ded up however in the process of winding up its activities as demanded by a Financial Act, no 23,sub-section 43 of Pension funds act, there was 13 untraceable Beneficiaries who had not come forward(after numerous notification to forwarding addresses) to
claim their funds. Amongst these beneficiaries was an Expatriate business man based in Zambia who was working as a Mining Contractor in Zambia employing about 17 staff, he had liquidated his company, ROSEL SUBCONTRACTING,LUSAKA ZAMBIA ,paid his staff and
due to the favorable Interest rate at the Pension fund, had deposited funds in United States Dollars with the pension fund in order to earn Interest.
This was in year 2000,after numerous attempts to contact all beneficiaries and particularly this expatriate businessman, it was discovered that in all his records, there was no evidence of Next of kin information, this raised an alarm and I subsequently
proceeded to Zambia as demanded by my schedule of duties to make further enquiries about this man only to discover that he actually died in Livingstone Memorial Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia of Sever Diabetic complications on 14th of August 2000,six months a
fter making the fixed deposit investment in the pension funds. The funds cannot be claimed by any other person apart from his next of kin hence my decision to contact you to act as the next of kin to this man so the funds can be paid out to you in your n
ame, after all necessary formalities have been concluded. There is no risk involved in this, the funds are presently in a Facility Account of a Bank under the status of Unclaimed funds, only waiting for me as the Ex-Auditor of the pension funds to ident
ify, confirm and present a Beneficiary for payment.
There is a commission of about Two Million United States Dollars which I am ready to offer to you, the Beneficiary has to be an overseas based business person because this man was an Expatriate, you may be required to travel to claim the funds with the arrangements and opti
ons available. You will also be required to present personal info(not financial info at the moment), the services of an Attorney will also be required to update relevant information. Be aware that unclaimed funds lying in Facility Accounts have to be rep
orted and turned over to the Financial Authorities here after being unclaimed for five years, as it is by Ferbruary 2005, if the funds are still not paid out, will be confiscated and it is likely, by corrupt financial Authority Officials.
My proposal is genuine, transparent and honest, be mindful of the commission involved for you.I can be reached by Email initially to confirm your interest in the percentage I am offering and to provide you with further information. Thank you very much an
d best regards.
MR. S. BENADI.
