ATTN:Sir,
My name is CHIEF Ken Brawn, an auditor with accountant general's
Office,South Africa.durining the course of our auditing, I discovered an
account opened with one of the branches of Co-operative and commerce bank
since the year 1996. This account was functional and operative until August
ending 2001, when the last withdrawal of (USD$23,000) twentythree thousand
United States dollars was made from the account via transfer request to
Europe. This leaves the balance of (USD$65.000.000) Sixty five Million United
States dollars.
On further investigation into the dormant account, I found the name of the
account Holder to be one Mr. Daniel Hans(aforeigner ) the Director Danhans
Investment Pty Ltd. A solid mineral based company. From the cash withdrawal
requisition he made through the offshore payment office in Europe, it was
discovered that Mr. Hans Daniel and family are billed for holiday in United
States Of America By first week of September.
The story later had it that the whole family left South Africa early August,
leaving the Gardner in charge of their resident in South Africa.The Gardner
confirmed that Hans last phone call was on September 10th 2001 before the
incident bombing attack on the Pentagon and the world trade center.The Gardner
has made away with valuables to the black Township of Soweto.
Now, the bank will release this money to any foreigner that forwards claims
as next of keen to Mr. Hans Daniel provided that the person has useful information
and necessary documents. It is a fact that I do not know you before, my
reason to look for your address through directory was this need to use a
foreigner like you.
I have plans to arrange all documents and secure approvals for the payment
in your favour if you accept to work with me. Your part is either to provide
your existing dollar account or you set up new one. If I have your account
information, I will handle the rest by initially transferring (USD$65.000.000.00)Sixty
five Million Dollars into your account.
On successful transfer of the first phase, I will come over to your country
for sharing. We shall reserve 25% for charity organizations, 25%for your
assistance,5% for expences then the remaining 45% will be invested for me
in your country under your supervision. Please indicate your interest to
work with me, by sending your phone and fax numbers and the account information.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my Alternative Email Add:

Yours faithfully,
CHIEF Ken Brawn
