My name is Mr. Cesar Edwards.I work as the operational manager in account management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL.Of USD 48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight million two hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar).On further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has long since passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account.He died on EGYPTIAN Boeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole passengers on board.



With my close connection with the bank manager here the bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from France in particular and I am certainly sure that he has no beneficiary and nobody will come again for the claim of this money. A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account Holder which I will provide to you, therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. The difference in country of origins is not a hindrance to the success of this transaction.



I will provide the necessary information and documents needed in order to claim this money, But you will need to open an account where this can be transferred. If interested send your private Telephone No. And Fax number including full details of your bank account where you will like the fund to be transferred to. I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction.



I want to assure you that the transaction is without risk if due process is followed accordingly. Finally I will give you 20% for your corporation, 5% will be set aside for expenses on both sides to see to the success of this transaction. I look forward to a favorable response from you through my private email,fax or you can call me on phone.



Let me hear from you URGENTLY.



Best Regards,



Cesar Edwards.
