Subject: earnestly awaiting your response
Mr.Bion doko,
18 Independence Close,
Johannesburg,
South Africa.
Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Bion doko, I am the operational manager in account management
section incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here
in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a
foreign customer of my bank who perished with his whole families on25TH
JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF4590 ]with the whole passengers
aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral WILL attatched to the
account. Since his death , I personally has watched with keen interest to
see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim
his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it,the account has no other beneficiary and
until his death he was the manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $26,000,000.00 USD [Twenty Six million United
StatesDollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with $6,000,000.00[Six
million] and open successful transaction without any disappointment from
your side,
we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the general
manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a
successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are
going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner
who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by
providing his/her bank account where the fund will be
transferred for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has
come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you
can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a
reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in
his or her personal account
.At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will
give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and
in your country while the remaining
5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the
transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized
within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary
of the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail or you can call me.
You should also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy and safe
communication.
Respectfully yours,
Mr.Bion doko.
