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
$34,000,000USD 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
