Subject: Urgent Response
Dear VICTIMNAME,
Many thanks to your email response, I am very much convinced that you are reliable person whom can handle the business of this magnitude with every required confidentiality and secrecy.VICTIMNAME as I told you in my first mail, 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 carried out in the proper banking procedures.
VICTIMNAME, you must have studied my proposal carefully, and you know between you and me, we are in no 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 that 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, and coupled with the award of 2010 soccer world cup.
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 the central bank of my country, 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 and you receive the funds in your account.
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. 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 you have a confirmation that the money has arrived in your account for spending then I will be joining you immediately for the sharing.
VICTIMNAME, there will be expenses incurred for the smooth operation of this transaction from both side which will be refunded back from the total money at the completion of the transfer while the money is in your custody before sharing as agreed, and we shall also sign an agreement that will bind us together during the curse of this transaction. VICTIMNAME, I am giving you a clear picture for you to know and understand exactly on how to approach this issue. I will also need you to send me a copy of your international passport as a form of identification; I will send you mine together with the copies of the agreement which I have paid a lawyer to draft.
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 I will also be communicating with you on mostly daily basis to give the guide line 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.
I want you to send to me your private fax and phone number together with your identity copy so that I will send you an application form for next of kin claims which you will fill in and send back to me then I will submit it to the bank for approval.
I wait for your urgent response to proceed please feel free to ask questions in what you don’t comprehend as mistake could be detrimental.
Best regards.
Fred Fakude.
