From Mr. Dabazi Fabana
20 SILVER CRESCENT,
Johannesburg, South Africa
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mr. Dabazi Fabana, an auditing / accounting consultant. I am writing
in respect of a foreign customer of one of my client banks who perished
with his whole family in an air crash with the whole passengers on board
confirmed dead. Please, for more details of the incidence visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm>
During the course of my auditing work with one of my client banks, I discovered
an account that was opened in that bank in 1998 but has not been serviced
since August 2000 and no written or oral 'WILL' is attached to this account.
In view of this, I investigated to see if I can have a link to anyone that
is related to this domant account but, all proved abortive as no one has
come to claim this funds however, none of my collegues knows about this
account or anything concerning it. The total amount involved in this issue
is Thirty Six Million United States Dollar.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a close confidant attorney whom
I must involve in this issue in order to assist us to get legal back-up
documents to substantiate your claims and also to enable us have a smooth
and successful transfer of the fund to your bank
account which you are going to provide. We wish to start the first phase
of this transaction with the transfer of Ten million and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side or from myside, we
shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
For your information, the banking ethics here does not allow unserviced
account to stay domant for more than six years without claim otherwise,
the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed and abandoned
money, and will subsequently be used for the purchase of arms and amuunitions
to further enhance the cause of war among nations of the world. Remember,
WAR IS INHUMAN AND A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. In view of this, I wish to
present you as the beneficiary of the fund by providing your peronal details
and bank account information for the transfer of this fund. You can equally
contact someone whom you know very well to be trustworthy and capable to
receive such amount in a personal or company account. At the conclusion
of the transfer, 60% of the fund will be for me, I will give you 25% of
the total transferred sum, 10% will be for charity both in Africa and in
your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside after the funds
have been completely transferred to your account, in order to pay back all
the expenses both parties would incure during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
on how the transaction have been planned to be executed. I am assuring you
that this business is 100% risk free and that you should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for international funds transfer would be observed.
I am optimistic that this transaction will be concluded within 7 to 14 banking
days as soon as the attorney applies to the bank on your behalf as the authentic
and legal beneficiary. All these depends on your ability to conclude a deal
very fast.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my alternative email address
dab_fabana@chillimail.com or you can contact me on my private Telephone
number +874 763591435 and Fax: +874 763591436. You should also provide
me with your private Telephone and Fax numbers for easy, convinient and
safe
communication between us.
Respectfully yours,
Dabazi Fabana
