Subject: MY GREETINGS TO YOU!!!
(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.Cyril Paul
