Dear :
Briefly I am Mr.joseph chiloawa. the manager foreign remittance department of FNB SOUTH AFRICAS (FNB).
In my departement, I discovered an over invoice sum of $12 million US
dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, who
died along with his entire family on november 1999 in a plane crash.
Since I got informations about his death, I have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it
unless somebody applies for it as his next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines and laws.
But unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation
died along side with him in the plane crash, leaving nobody behind for
the claim, it is therefore upon this discovery that I now, wish to make
this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent this
disbursement since nobody is comming for it and I do not want this money to
go into the bank treasury as unclaimed.
The bank law and guide line here stipulated that if such money remained
unclaimed after six years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request for foreigner as next of kin in this business is accasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot
stand as next of kin to this family I therefore wish to contact you and
seek for your assistance, to help me claim this money from the bank and
transfer it into your company account or private account.
As soon as this fund is transfered i will visit your country for
disbursement and investment fund.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of
the deceased, indicating your bank name,your bank account number,your
private telephone and the fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where the money will be remitted. I will not fell to bring
to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should
not entertain any atom of fear as all require arrangemnts have been
made for the transfer,but should be confidential.
You should please contact me immediately as soon as you go through the
message.
In the hope that we can enter into a good business venture.
Best Regards,
Mr.JOSEPH CHILOAWA.
