Subject: THIS IS URGENT FROM DR FREDRICK KHUMALO
Dear VICTIMNAME
Thanks for your email.There is an important factor you have to understand in this transaction, this is a deal but you don’t have to worry yourself that we are going to be doing anything illegal because all the process in this transaction will be done in the proper banking procedures without leaving any stone unturned so at no stage will any of the process done illegal.
You have study my proposal and you know between you and me, we are in know way related to the deceased person but since I have done an intensive investigation on the best way to have this money transferred out of this country because there is no next of kin or any relative coming forth to claim the money we can as well use this opportunity to have this blessings in disguise and the best thing about this operation is, presently my country South Africa is in a transition period and a lot of deals are going on here because South Africa is been seen as a gate way for the
African continent to the develop world.
Now this is how we are going to have the exercise completed, from the enquiries I made. Since the money is in an account which is dormant presently in my bank a commercial bank, it will not be ideal to have the transfer done from my bank without it creating awareness with the federal monitoring committee so the best way after consulting with a top banker who is very much interested in been part of this deal, after he has investigated all the possibilities to achieve this goal, as the director of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Reserve Bank which is our central bank, he said it will better we have the transfer done from his bank which is not a commercial bank as a direct transfer to your nominated bank account with him as our insider and this is more of the reasons why this transaction must be kept confidential until we complete the whole exercise.
His department is in charge of all the foreign transfers that leaves or comes into the country and he has suggested that the best way is to have a foreign business partner which is you, that will be fronted to have the money transferred in his name with all the documents bearing his name as the beneficiary/rightful owner of the money.
We will start first with the affidavit of claim form the high court which will be approve by the commissioner of oath, this will allow you put a claim to the money at the bank, also have my bank release the money to the central bank since they don’t deal with individual and once the money is been release to them, this is where our insider whom I will expose his identity to you once I am sure of your willingness to proceed as we progress will come into action, to have the money lodged in an account called the ESCROW ACCOUNT in your name.
This account is where the money will remain safe until the necessary documents are been arrange and it is the first legal stage to prove the legitimacy that you are the rightful owner of the money and this same account will act as an intermediary between you and the government since the bank paying out the money is not a commercial bank.
So from that stage the insider from the central bank will be the person to facilitate all the process and to speed up the pace of the documents in your name until we have a confirmation that the money has been wired and you have given me the confirmation that the cash is available in your account for spending then I will be joining you
immediately for the sharing.
There will be expenses incurred for the smooth operation of this transaction from both side which will be refund from the total money at the completion of the transfer while the money is in your custody before sharing without affecting your share or percentage for your assistance in the execution of the deal. I am giving you a clear picture for you to know exactly on how to approach this issue.
I will update you on the next stage from where I stop but it is a very simple thing because as we progress, the whole process will start unveiling right for you to understand and you will be receiving all the records of the documents through fax for you to be up dated with the progress of the deal. So you can see that a fax number is really important for confidentiality sake and precise the central bank will have to keep record of all the correspondences with the beneficiary from your paying officer.
NB: I will like to know exactly what you do for a living in detail please because this will be able toconvince me beyond reasonable doubt of your capability to handle this transaction.
Your direct telephone number, mobile telephone and a fax number for easy communication and security reasons.
Thanks.
