Dear,
Please permit me to introduce my humble self, I am Mr. Paul Kruger, I am the
Director of international relation with Amalgamated Bank of South Africa
(ABSA), I 'm 41yrs old, I got your address from the Internet, and my
confidence reposed on you. I hope you read this message carefully and reply
me immediately. Although we have not met before I suggest that this
transaction will bring us together.
My dear, we have a customer, a foreigner based here in South Africa with his
wife and two children his Name is Mr. Hamilton Creek. Mr. Hamilton has being
banking with our bank for the past 5yrs. some time August 2002, Mr. Hamilton
was on his way to his house with his families unfortunately they ran into a
Trailer load of Groundnut Oil, and he died at the spot with his families no
single soul was saved because his car got burnt. Mr. Hamilton Creek and his
entire family were Confirmed dead.
The Directors and Board Management of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa
(ABSA) has mandated and instructed me to look for Mr. Hamilton Creek
Relation/relatives and his next of Kin to come and claim Mr. Hamilton's
Fund, Since August 2003 till date, I have been looking for Mr. Hamilton
Creek relations and relatives/Next of Kin to come and claim Mr. Hamilton's
Fund which he deposited with our bank, I have contacted his Embassy and
after one month, his Ambassador told me that they could not find any
relation or next of kin, to late Hamilton Creek. The only son he has as next
of kin died with him, it is quite unfortunate that Mr. Hamilton Creek died
with all his family members.
The reason why I contacted you is, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only son
who is supposed to inherit his properties and money also died with him. As
at this moment, nobody or person[s] is coming to claim this money from our
bank. The board directors and management of our bank has told me that if
nobody or person[s] apply for the claim of Mr. Hamilton Fund, the bank will
return
Mr. Hamilton's Fund into our Federal Reserve.
In the Light of the above, I want you to stand as the Relation/relative of
Late Mr. Hamilton Creek; I want you to act as the Hamilton's relative, so
that you will inherit Mr. Hamilton Creek Money which he deposited with our
bank, it might interest you to know that Mr. Hamilton made a special deposit
with our Bank and he has a total sum of US$9.2M (Nine Million Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars) and this money is still in with my bank as unclaimed
money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, as an
International Relations with Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA), and
the Management and Board Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide
any Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, of which I told them
that I am still searching the next of kin to the deceased.
Finally, if you are interested contact me on the above telephone or email
for further procedure. Note: all legality in this transaction must be fully
observed to ensure a success transfer. A separate account must be open where
the said amount will be transfer.
Please feel free to ask any questions. We will share the money 50-50; you
will take 50% of the US$9.2M and 50% will be mine.
Remember that this transaction require your confidentiality.
Waiting for your immediate response.
Thanks and have a nice day. God bless
Mr.Paul Kruger
