FROM: MR. JOMO KANGA
(HEAD, COMMERCIAL BANKING)
STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA
9TH FLOOR, HEERENGRACHT TOWER,
BEREA
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr Jomo Kanga (Head, Commercial Banking) with
Standard Bank Plc,Johannesbrug, South Africa. I came to know about you in
my private search for a reliable person/company to handle a
confidential transaction on behalf of my Colleagues and myself.As a
matter of fact, I got your information from the Johannesburg Export
Promotion Council.
l write in respect of a foreign customer with A/C Number:14-2558-2004.
who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and
only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this
website http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson an American Oil
consultant/contractor with the South Africa Mining Corporation
Since the death of this our customer Mr. Morris Thompson, I have kept a
close monitoring of the deposit records and accounts since then. Nobody
has come forward to claim the money in this A/C as next of kin to the late
Mr. Morris Thompson. The total amount in the account is US$15 million
and it is a domiciliary escrow bank account. It is only an insider,the
account
owner or a next of kin who has information about the account that could
produce the Code or password of the deposit particulars. Also the funds
can only be released to a foreigner.
As it stands now, there is nobody in the position to produce the needed
information other than my very self-considering my position in the
bank. Based on the fact that Mr. Thompson's family perished in the same
flight accident, leaving no one to put claim of the deposit as the next
of kin, so I am seeking for your co-operation to present you as the next
of kin to late Thompson, and arrange for the release of the funds to your
honour for our mutual benefit.
If there is more delay in moving this money out, this money will be
pushed to the Treasury of the Federal Republic of South Africa. I am willing
to
share this money with you in the ratio of 65 - 30%. You shall have 30% of
the funds and I and my partners shall share the rest 65%. the remaining 5%
is to take care of any expenses incurred in this transaction. such expenses
as telephone calls, fax messages, tax, travelling expenses etc
If you are interested in this deal please send me your full names,
address, company name/occupation, private telephone and fax numbers,
please reply to my alternative email: jomokanga@netscape.com
Regards.
Mr. Jomo Kanga
