Subject: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!
(PLEASE HANDLE THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY)
Dear,
I am the Computing Auditor of a prime bank in South Africa.I
have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for
you.In 1985, A Miner
made a time deposit in a bank Which I am presently the
Computing Auditor.He did not declare any next of kin in his
application paper. The money is very
big and no one knows the source of this money because
apparently the
time frame of his employment with the company here in Africa
does
indeed preclude such a large amount of money.It can be
assumed that he
brought his money over from his country or previous place of
work but
that is open to speculation.However,the point is that he is
dead and
his employers are not aware Of this money,and therefore it
can be
safely assumed that no one will ever come forward to claim
this money,
he died in 1992.
The total sum (inclusive of accrued interests) is
still sitting in my Bank in the Dormant Account Portfolio.
No one will
ever come forward to claim it now or in the future and
according to our
banking laws,after 15 years,the money will automatically
reverted to the
Federal Government Treasury if the Account owner is a
foreigner and is
certified dead but with you a foreigner applying for the
transfer of
this fund to your nominated account anywhere in the world
and all
documents backing the transfer legally secured and there is
certification that the funds being transferred are from
non-criminal sources we will have no problems.
In short this will be a proper and legal money
transfer and there will be no related risk! We will have to
process the
initial paperwork to obtain approval from the Probate
Registry
(Ministry of Justice) and obtain the Letter of
Administration
empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the deceased
Estate after
which I will use my position and influence in the bank to
effect onward
transfer of this money from our bank to your nominated
account. If you
therefore agree to be the official Beneficiary, then please
note that
you will be required to avail me with a bank account (a bank
account
with zero Credit Balance is ok).Your full address, phone and
fax,full
name and brief background information on you (CV). As soon
as I receive
a positive response on your willingness to assist me then I
will
initiate the processing of the transfer and in about 7
working days the
money will be in your nominated bank account for us To share
in the
ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you.
This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any
problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me the above
requested Information, I will give you my complete address,
including phone/ fax etc and any further
clarifications you may require.
God Bless You.
Dr Mbizala Paul
