Subject: "ONG"
ATTENTION: M. ONG
Dear Sir,
With warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this
letter meets you in good time. However, I am sincerely seeking your
confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a
person of integrity.
I got your contact as a result of my discreet search for an associate who
can help
me. I know this letter must come to you as a surprise, more so that we have
not met before
My name is Mr. Alfred Makaya a South African citizen and a director of
operations with a private finance and investment firm based in South Africa.
Our primary aim is to secure our clients funds and to ensure that it is
wisely invested in safe and non speculative projects that would yield
maximum returns and less tax.
In all instances, Most of our client may request some confidentiality
especially if they are serving or retired public servants as is the case
with this client of ours Mr. Hubert Ong, who died in Indonesia as a result
of the Tsunami disaster while on a business trip. Mr. Hubert Ong died
without any WILL and till date nobody has been able to locate any of his
relatives despite several enquiries. The deceased had an asset account
valued at Twenty-six million, five hundred thousand (USD$26.5m) United
States Dollars.
Unfortunately this man has no WILL as to his inheritance in Johannesburg,
South Africa.
I have made every effort to trace his relatives over the Internet and locate
any member of his family but to no avail.
The company has issued a notice of claim for the Next of Kin to come forward
or the deposit would be reverted to the state. I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for a while, thus seek your consent to present you as
the NEXT OF KIN, since you have same family name so that the proceeds of
this account valued at USD$26.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you and 20%
will be donated to the orphanages, instead of forfeiting it to the
government.
You will be entitle to 20%, 5% will be to off set every expenditure that we
might incure as a result of this transaction while the remaining 55% will
be for me for investment purposes under your trustee.
All necessary documents to back up your claims as the Next of Kin on your
behalf will be processed through the Probate office here in South Africa by
me. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you.
Please get in touch with me through my private e-mail alfredmakaya@inbox.ru
enable us discuss further.
Yours truly,
Alfred Makaya.
