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 Bongo Roseveelt,a consulting auditor of prime
banks here in South Africa.
On June 6,2001,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.
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,
Bongo Roseveelt.
