(TRANSFER OF us$20.5 M)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am JACKSON KUMA, I was a financial consultant to Mr J.B Nettles, a national Of
your country, who used to work as a contractor in South Africa. Referred to as my
client. On the 30th of April 2001, my client, and their only daughter were involved
in a car accident along Pretoria road in South Africa.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made
several enquiry?s here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search through with his
name which motivated me to contact you, to locate any member of his family hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at
US$20.5 Million (Twenty million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) left
behind by my client Before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Security Finance Firm (Bank) where this huge amount were deposited. The said
Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now,
I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have
the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing
ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal
documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through the above emails or Telephone /fax numbers for
more details.
Best regards.
MR. JACKSON KUMA.
