From: "steven kani" <stevekani444@hotmail.com>
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 12:29:47 +0200
Subject: From Mr Kani:
ATT:SIR/MA
I am Mr Steven Kani, the personal accounting officer to Mr. Smith B Andreas,
a geologist, who lived and worked with Kruger Gold Mining Company Pty here
in South Africa. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 7th
of February 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were involved
in a ghastly car accident along N1 Pretoria highway road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to your country’s embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, but this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his surname
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly,
the Amalgamated bank Of South Africa where the deceased had an account
valued at about $8.5 million dollars has issued me a notice as his
accounting officer to provide his next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the twenty one (21)official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you have the same surname with him, so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $8.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach
of law.
Thanks and God Bless
