confidant to Dr. Ravindra F. Shah who died together
with his wife Dr.Mrs. Manjula Parikh-Shah in a plane
crash on the 1st Oct. 2003 on their way to attend
wedding in Boston.
Mr. Ravindra F. Shah, is an American, a physician and
industrialist, he died last year without having any
beneficiary to his assets including his account here
in South Africa which he opened in a prime bank in the
year 2000 as his personal savings for the purpose of
expansion and developement of his company before his
untimely death in 2003.
The amount involved is (USD 39,500,000.00)Thirty Nine
Million Five Hundred Thousand USD, no other person
knows about this account, I am contacting you for us
to transfer this funds to your account as the

(nine million five hundred thousand USD) from this
money into a safe account abroad, after which we will
transfer the remaining (30M) but I don't know any
foreigner.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to a local person here, without valid international foreign passport, but
can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international passport
or drivers license and foreign a/c because the money is in US Dollars and
the former owner of the a/c Mr.Ravindra F. Shah is a foreigner too, and
as such the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine.
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you, upon your

bank official who is deeply involved with me in
this business.
