Dear Sir,
With due honor and respect, I introduce myself to you for a better
relationship. I am MR STEVE NKOSI,CHIEF AUDITOR of FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
SOUTH AFRICA(F.N.B). 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 auditing, verifications/investigations in our bank at the end of
last fiscal (financial) year, I discovered the sum of (US$26M}TWENTY
SIX MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS in a dormant account belonging to MR
ALLAN P SEAMAN ,a German international businessman who died along with
his family in the November 5th,2001 plane crash in Abidjan west Africa.
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.
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.
And it will interest you to know that the Reserve Bank(Apex) will
approve credit of this fund into your account as contract payment to abstain
you from all queries regarding the source (originality) of this fund
and will provide you (beneficiary) with contractual (data) details to
certify your bank or government if the need arises. 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 STEVE NKOSI
