ABSA BANK LTD.
RODEPOORT BRANCH,
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
Private Email:bilesony2006@netscape.net
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Bile Sony
credit officer of ABSA Bank Ltd.I have a concealed business
suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr Kahal Mohammad
who was an Iraqi Business Man and also Deals On Arms With
The South African Government made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Fourteen million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him,
even during the war, again after the war several notifications
were sent and still no response came from him. We later found
out that the Mr. Kahal and his family had been killed during the
war in a bomb blast that hit their home in Iraq.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Mr. Kahal did not declare any next of
kin in his official papers including the paper work of
his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last
time he was at my office that no one except me knew of
his deposit in my bank. So, Fourteen million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim
it.What bothers me most is that according to the to
the laws of my country at the expiration three years
the funds will revert to the ownership of the South African
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I
will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of
kin to Mr. Kahal Mohammad so that you will be able to receive
his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned
out so that we shall come out successful. I have
contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the next of kin to
Mr. Kahal Mohammad,all that is required from you at
this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Names and Address so that the attorney can commence
his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the
attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf
and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate/Administration in your favor for the movement of the
funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we
are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney
will prepare all the necessary documents. Please
endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue. Once the funds have been
transferred to your nominated bank account we shall
share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5%
for any expenses incurred during the course of this
operation.
Should you be interested please send me your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can
write me via my private box and i will provide you with
more details of this operation. Your earliest response
to this letter will be appreciated.
