Subject: BUSINESS CO-OPERATION
FROM THE DESK OF :MR.FRANK WILLIAM.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,
ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA,
EMAIL:frankwilliam_010@yahoo.com
DIRECT PHONE:27-83-313-0110
Dear,
(TOP SECRET)
I am.MR FARNK WILLIAM .the director in charge of auditing and
accounting section of ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA with due respect and regard. I
have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died
on October 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.The said amount was U.S $15.2M (fifteen million two hundred thousand United
States dollars)
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through the SOUTH AFRICA chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here
in JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as
the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to
this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone
but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an
eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this
bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or
fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of
trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will
need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after
due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank
where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank
account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of
the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to
retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your
country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country
you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital information will be
sent to you when I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your immediate response through
my email:frankwilliam_010@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
MR.FRANK WILLIAM
