MR BERNARD MBOTE (Consulting Auditor)
# 155 president street, Johannesburg,
South Africa.
Dear Partner,
Greetings and complement of the season.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive
and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be well at the end
of the day. We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
I got your email address while searching for trustworthy individual.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr: Bernard Mbote
an auditor with one prime bank of Johannesburg, South Africa.
MY PROPOSITION:
A foreign customer, Engr: Christian Eich Until his death in a CONCORDE PLANE
CRASH [Flight AF4590] on 27TH JULY, 2000, He banked with us and had a closing
balance as at the end of September, 1999 worth $30,800.000.00 (Thirty Million
eight hundred thousand United State Dollars), (this is aside the accrued
interest so far from that date) the bank now expects his next of kin as
beneficiary. Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch
with any of the Family member or Relatives but to no success.
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody
behind for the claim. It is because of the perceived possibility of not
being able to locate the next of kin . The Management under the influence
of our Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, Thus that arrangement
has been made for the fund to be declear"Unclaimed" and subsequentlly be
donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the
course of War in Africa and the World in General.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues
and I, now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin so that
the fund will be released and paid into your Account as the beneficiary/next
of kin.The request of A foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Local person here in
the country cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner).
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out. We have secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to
locate any of the deceased's beneficiary(ies), and more so i am are assuring
you that this business is 100% Risk Free. Your share will be 30% of the
total sum while 10% will be set aside for any expences incured during the
course of the transaction, The rest of 60% will be for myself and my colleagues
for investment purposes,According to agreement between both parties.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,Kindly
commence action as we are almost behind schedule to enable this funds be
included in the final quarter of this fiscal year's payment, your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
where-in the money will be remitted. I will also instruct you on how you
can add in your application to our bank, so that you get paid through our
corresponding bank overseas as this will be easier for us. Upon receipt
of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.
I will give you more details immediately I get your swift response,and keep
this letter tight.
Thank's and God Bless you
Mr. Bernard Mbote.
