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.
