Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Williams Duke, from South Africa . Last week,I searched my late Directors portfolio, Mr. Manuel Lim. and came across a document containing $14 Million,United state Dollars cash Deposit in African Development Bank I contacted the Bank to ascertainthe truth, but it was confirmed that my late director Deposited the Amount of $14.Million on his foreign company's name.
Since then I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of my late boss extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but to no avail hence my mail to you is to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my late boss before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit was lodged.
Particularly, African Development Bank where the decease had an account valued at about Fourteen million United States Dollars only has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the next thirty official working days.
Since I have beenunsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid into your bank account.
For your assistance, you shall be compensated with 30% of the fund while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I will appreciate that you forward your direct telephone number for brief discussion so that we can proceed immediately with the processing of the Swift Wire transfer of the funds in to your designated Bank account through my perfected plans.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us have this transaction accomplished. It is worthy to note that due to the nature of this transaction absolute confidentiality is required during the course of this transaction.
All is required of you is absolute sincerity, if you are interested and surethat you cannot betray me in this regard contact me with the following informations:
{1}. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
{2}. YOUR FULL NAME
{3}. YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION.
{4}. YOUR IDENTIFICATION.
{5}. YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER.
Best regards,
Mr.Williams Duke
- Dr. William Duke
