AUDITOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT

CLOSE, JO, BORG
SOUTH AFRICA.
DEAR .SIR/MADAM
With due honor and respect, I introduce myself to you for a better relationship. I am Mr.PAUL WILSON THE CHIEF AUDITOR of AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA(A.B.S.A). Your contact is courtesy of Business online network via Internet as I decided to contact you for this beneficial transaction that is 100% risk free.
During the auditing, verifications/investigations in our bank at the last quarter of our (financial) year, I discovered the sum of (US$45.5M}FORTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS in adormant account belonging to MOHAMAD.U.KHLID ,an Iranian international
businessman who died along with his family in the Plane Crash on Tuesday 12th August 2005 in the city of Tehran in IRAN" Plane line "Cyrus Travel".
Our investigations revealed no survival or NEXT OF KIN/RELATIONS for claims as we have long been expecting someone to forward applications for claims as
it applies to our banking regulations. Information / verifications from reliable sources confirmed that his supposed “NEXT OF KINS” died with him in
the crash. Hence this for your perusals, www.payvand.com/news
However, I kept this information (SECRET) confidential within my jurisdiction to enable us submit claims and transfer this fund through trustworthy person whom we shall present to our bank as the BONAFIDE “NEXT OF KIN” to the deceased. We intend to credit this fund into any of your nominated (designated) offshore bank account for investments.Meanwhile, all domestic arrangements for claims has been put in place awaiting your acceptance to participate. I will give you directives and all needed information as soon as I receive your positive response.
Kindly understand that we could not carry out this on our own as based on
the simple facts that we are civil servants and secluded from operating foreign account and too, it will raise eyebrows on our side in terms of transfer being staff of the bank. Moreover, this fund belongs to a foreigner and demands same as next of kin to claim it. Hence your contact for successful operation.
My colleagues and I has resolved to offering you 20% of the total sum as
commission, We will invest 75% of our share in your country provided it is
profit oriented. 5% of the total fund will be set aside to re-emburse all expenses to be incurred in the course of running this transaction such as telephone and other minor expenses. I am assuring you of a smooth and successful transaction provided you display maturity and observe confidentiality.
Therefore, be kind to clarify the following for my consideration:
1. Can your account accommodate this fund in your local bank without
government intervention or do you have an account outside your country
where you may consider safe for this fund ?.
2. What are taxation in your country like as I desire a low/free tax
zone?.
3. What are the interest rates on long/short term fixed deposit in your
local banks?.
4. What other lucrative investments would you suggest as I intend
banking, real estate and hotels if they are good business venture in your
Country?.
5. Can you be able to make residential documents and purchase a house
for me and my family to relocate and settle in your country after the transaction?
Kindly indicate your private telephone and fax number for more effeicient communication.
Looking forward to your anticipated urgent response.
Best regards,
MR. PAUL WILSON
