It is with great honour and previledge that i was able to capture your
contact from the internet.My Name is Mr. Mandla Kwame Goliko ,a citizen of
South Africa and a credit officer of the Lloyds TSB Group plc Uk.Before the
U.S and Iraqi war our Customer Mr. Louis Campher who is a national of your
country and who (in this case I am his accounting officer) was with the
Omega Risk Solutions in Iraq and also an Oil consultant/contractor with the
South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months with our bank valued at
US$43,000,000.00,(Fourty-Three Million United state Dollars).Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war,and also a reminder and
finally we discovered from his contract employers that Mr Louis Campher was
killed in an attack on their convey while travelling from one construction
sight to another during the USA-Iraqi War.
The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution,and as the accounting
officer to Mr. Louis Campher I was mandated to provide his next of kin for
the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the
bank as an abandoned property.Further investigations revealed that Mr. Louis
Campher 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,
Fourty-Three Million 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 The
Directors of my bank had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of
1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to
me,Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness but fortunately, I came across
your name, and to my utmost amazement, you are a nationals of the same
country. my suggestion to you is that I will like you to stand as the next
of kin to Mr. Louis Campher so that you will be able to receive this funds.
However,I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same country.I
have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Louis Campher.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
from any breach of law.Be Inform also that we shall share the funds in the
ratio 50% for me and 45% for you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as
your Government may require.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in
all matters concerning this issue.I will bring you into a more detailed
picture of this transaction when I hear from you.Your earliest response to
this letter will be appreciated via my private email

Mandla
