I am Mr.shann, the Auditor General of a bank in Africa, during the course
of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the
bank in 1995 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account again, after
going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner
of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if
I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
the owner of this account is Mr. Frankline Sullivan, a foreigner, and a
sailor, and he died, since 1998. and no other person knows about this account
or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that Frankline Sullivan until his death
was the manager Sulliv Coy.(pty). SA.
