Dear Respected friend,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for
your unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction
requiring maximum confidence. Though this approach appears desperate,
I can assure you that whatever questions you would need to ask or any
other thing you will need to know regarding this proposal will be
adequately answered to give you a clearer understanding of it, so as
to arrive at a successful conclusion.
My name is DR. WILLAMS HENMAN , Head of Securities,Commonwealth Bank of
Australia, Melbourne. On December 6, 2001, a foreign
consultant/contractor with the Cadbury Kenya Ltd, Mr. David Sidney
Jocelyn-Duffield, made a numbered time (fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00, (Thirty Million United
States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a
month, I sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Cadbury Kenya Ltd, that Mr.Jocelyn-Duffield died from
an automobile accident. On further investigation,I found out that he
died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin
was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Jocelyn-Duffield did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in our Bank. I have carefully moved out these funds
(US$30million)from our bank as sundry funds to an offshore Deposit
Company in the European Union. From past experiences, I know that no
one will ever come forward to claim the deceased funds. According to
Australian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,the funds will be Unclaimable
and revert to theownership of the Australia Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund. In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction
with a colleague (the Chief Operating Officer in the bank) now seek your
permission to allow my attorney do a CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP/REASSIGNMENT OF
CREDIT of stated funds from the "deceased" to your name, so that the funds
(US$30million) would be released to you as the new owner (on behalf of me
and my colleague). We are writing you because, as public servants, we cannot
operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than 160,000:00.
Consequently, I will present you as the owner of the funds in the
Deposit Company so you can be able to claim them. This is simple. I
will like you to provide immediately;
1. Full names
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive these information, I will prepare the necessary
documents which will put you in place as the new owner of the funds.
The money will then be released to your custody by the Deposit
Company, for us to share in the ratio of 70% for us and 30% for you. There
is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the solicitor and this will guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email
address. Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and
my confidential phone number for further explanation that will help you
understand the transaction.
No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive, please we imploy
you to observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because we shall
require your assistance to invest our share in your country (buying of
properties like real estate etc). This is why your urgent action and
response is of priority to enable us conclude this transaction in a
timely and professional manner.I await your swift response please

Thanks for anticipated and kind co-operation.
Yours Sincerely,
DR WILLAMS_HENMAN.
