MR.TONY KAMARA
DEVELOPMENT BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA,
1265 LEVER, ROAD HEADWAY,
HILL MADRAND,SOUTH AFRICA.
Attn: The President/CEO
Reply To:email:tonykamara01@indiatimes.com
I am MrTony Kamara, Provincial Director Development Bank
of South Africa, Hill Badrand Branch. I have urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 2001, a foreign Oil consultant/contractor with
the South Africa Mining Corporation, Mr. Richard Moss made
a numbered time (Fixed)Depositfor twelve calendar months,
valued at US12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers,the South Africa Mining Corporation that
Mr.Richard Moss 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. Richard Moss did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US12,500,000.00 (Twelve
Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) is
still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No
one will ever come forward to claim it.According to South
Africa Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government
if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my; proposal is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Richard
Moss so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare
the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you
in place as the next of kin.
A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as
the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction. If you are interested,please reply
immediately via the private email address below. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my
email:tonykamara01@indiatimes.com
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Tony Kamara
