Subject: BUSINESS CALL.
FROM JOHN MUZI.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
ABSA BANK LIMITED, JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Sir,
I am JOHN MUZI, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA) 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 31 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.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount is US$14M (fourteen million
united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through
the internet directory web pages of my country and prayed over it before
contacting you believing you will be viable and capable to champion a
business of such magnitude without any problem . 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, 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.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I
have made arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are 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 us 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 information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this
deal on my confidential number +27-83-5939368.
Yours faithfully,
JOHN MUZI.
+27-83-5939368.
