Dear Sir,
In order to transfer from a Bank some amount of money, I have the courage to
look for a reliable
and honest person who will be capable for this important business believing
that you will never
let me down either now or in the future.
I am Dr Martins Kumani,a consulting auditor of prime banks here in South
Africa.
On June 6,2000,an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the South
African Mining corporation,
Mr. Robert H. Klinsman made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve
calendar months,value of United States Dollar(USD $) Fourteen Million Two
Hundred thousand in an account. On maturity, The bank sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month,The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract
employers,the South African Mining corporation wrote to inform the bank that
Mr. Robert H. Klinsman died from an automobile accident,that he died without
MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American Embassy to trace his next of
kin was fruitless.
I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Robert H.
Klinsman in fact was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained
American citizenship.He did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This money total
(USD $) Fourteen Million Two Hundred thousand is still sitting in my bank as
dormant Account.
No one will ever come forward to claim it, and according to South African
banking policy,after 5years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
South African Government if the account owner is certified dead.
This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the next of kin to MR.Robert H. Klinsman,and a Bank
Account abroad will then facilitate the transfer of this money to the
beneficiary/ next of kin.
This is simple, all you have to do is to immediately send me a bank account
anywhere in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork.
This money total USD ($14.2M) will then be paid into this
Account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25 % for you and 5% for
expenses that might come up during transfer process. There is no risk at
all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me using my
position and connection in the banks in South Africa.
This business transaction is guaranteed. If you are interested, please reply
immediately through my personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address
(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number
(3) Your Account particulars where you want the
transfer made to
Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable to both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Dr Martins Kumani.
