Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Johannes B Magwaza, I am the operational manager in
account management section incharge 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 aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank by this great late diamond and
oil magnet who died without a written or oral WILL attached to the
account. Since his death I personally has watched with keen interest
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.
The total amount involved is 48,223.000.00 USD.[Forty Eight Million
Two Hundred and Twenty Three Thousand United States Dollar]. We wish
to
start the first transfer with $8,000.000.00 [Eight Million] and upon
successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we
shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your
account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of the bank who
I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of
the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate. On
this note, I want you to
act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by
providing your bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate
investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of
kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 2
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this 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 who will be capable of receiving such amount
in
his or her personal account. At the conclussion of the transfer 60% of
the fund will be for me, I will give you 35% of the total transfer
sum,
5% for charity both in Africa and in your country .
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you
should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized
within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the
beneficiary of
the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail immediately.
Call me at the following numbers:+27 312075314 ,+874 762864166,+874
762864167,Fax:874 76264168.
Respectfully yours,
JOHANNES BM.
