Dear Franck,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this by virtue of
its nature as being utterly Confindential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
I am Barrister Richard Bongani a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney
to Mr.Robert Franck,is a foreigner,and a miner at Kruger Gold Company,a
geologist by profession here in South Africa.
My client,his wife and their three Children were involved in a car accident
along Johannesburg express road in hour of 4 p.m. my local time,Mr.Robert
Franck is hereinafter referred to as my client.On the 21st of July 2002,
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to the embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to look for a capable man from his country
hence I found you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. The bank has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years now
I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last
name so that the proceeds of this account valued at 10.7million dollars can
be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to
you I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I am not imposing this transaction on you, It is a thing of self
willingness, so it is either you write me back by via mail (
ricbonassociates@yahoo.co.uk) and tell me you are willing and I will know
the next step to take because this fund must be claimed either with your
help or the help of somebody else.
After going through the proposal and understanding it very well and you are
willing to do this transaction with me, get back to me immediately with your
private phone and fax numbers for easy communication so that we can start as
follows:
1) A memorandum of understanding (M.O.U) will be sent to you, which you will
sign, seal and send to me,which will serve as an agreement binding both of
us,so that I won't lose the fund to you. Note, the M.O.U will also contain
our sharing modalities so that everybody will know what belongs to him at
the end of the transaction
2) After receiving the signed M.O.U from you, I will forward every documents
regarding to the ownership of the fund, together with a sworn affidavit, on
your behalf, which will authorize you as the next of kin to the diseased.
With constant communication it will not take us more than seven banking days
to achieve our aims. It is a promise that at the end of the day you will
embrace me and we will become family friends for life.
Please treat this matter as urgent request and get in touch with me by this
email address:(ricbonassociates@yahoo.co.uk) better still you can call me on
my private phone number:
27-83-3651775.
While I wait for your reply remain Blessed.
Best regards,
Barrister Richard Bongani.
