Subject: VERY URGENT !!
Good Day To You,
Please let me introduce my self to you I am Mr. Wilfred James, a South
African, I work with First National Bank, Johannesburg South Africa (FBN),
where I manage private clients accounts, as a matter of fact, I have been in
charge of this duty for 12 years now. My motive for writing this mail to you
are to in form you of an account belonging to Mr. Alexander Schmitz. Who has
been my client for as long as I have been with FNB.
His account holds the sum of US$12.3 million dollars the truth now is that
Mr. Alexander Schmitz. Is late, and I have monitored his account with us for
4 years now, and to my greatest surprise, no one has come up for a claim
till date. From my investigations and confirmation, my client left his next
of kin column blank, and had a single on entry visa into South Africa, which
is why no one has knowledge of the deposit except us at FNB.
Hence the need to get in touch with you as one who I can present as a next
of kin to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client
before they get confiscated or declared unplayable, as I have been
unsuccessful in locating a relative for over 3 years now. Please be informed
that the proceeds of this Deposit valued at US$12.3 million dollars. Will be
shared as follows: 80% for my colleagues and me, 20% to you. I have all
necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All I require is your Honest cooperation to enable this deal go through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate Arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the Law, as the funds did not originate
from drug money or terrorism, but through inheritance. I have discussed this
matter with some of the banks official and we have all agreed to find a
reliable partner to have this deal with, so that the funds can be released
to you in your nominated account for shearing after due processes have been
followed. Please let me have your telephone and fax numbers to enable us
discuss further about this transaction.
You can contact me strictly on Telephone: + 27 847 567 141, or through this
email: wilfred6000@hotmail.com
Best Regards,
Wilfred James
