Dear Sir,
With due honor and respect, I introduce myself to you for a
better relationship.I am MR.JOHN NUMVETTE,CHIEF AUDITOR of FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA(F.N.B) . Your contact is courtesy of Business online
network via Internet as I decided to contact you for this beneficial transaction
that is 100% risk free.
During auditing, verifications investigations in our bank at the end of
last fiscal (financial) year, I discovered the sum of (US$26M}TWENTY SIX
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS in a dormant account belonging to MR ALLAN P
SEAMAN a German international businessman who died along with his family in
the November 5th,2001 plane crash in Abidjan west Africa. Our
investigations revealed no survival or NEXT OF KIN/RELATIONS for claims as we have
long been expecting someone to forward applications for claims as it applies
to our banking regulations. Information / verifications from reliable
sources confirmed that his supposed NEXT OF KINS died with him in the crash.
Hence this for your perusals.
However, I kept this information (SECRET) confidential within my
jurisdiction to enable us submit claims and transfer this fund through trustworthy
person whom we shall present to our bank as the BONAFIDE NEXT OF KIN to the
deceased.We intend to credit this fund into any of your nominated (designated)
offshore bank account for investments.Meanwhile, all domestic arrangements for
claims has been put in place awaiting your acceptance to participate. I will give
you directives and all needed information as soon as I receive your
positive response.
Kindly understand that we could not carry out this on our own as based
on the simple facts that we are civil servants and secluded from operating
foreign account and too, it will raise eyebrows on our side in terms of
transfer being staff of the bank. Moreover, this fund belongs to a foreigner and
demands same as next of kin to claim it. Hence your contact for successful
operation.
My colleagues and I has resolved to offering you 20% of the total sum
as commission, We will invest 75% of our share in your country provided it
is profit oriented. 5% of the total fund will be set aside to re-emburse
all expenses to be incurred in the course of running this transaction such
as telephone and other minor expenses.
I am assuring you of a smooth and successful transaction provided you
display
maturity and observe confidentiality. And it will interest you to know
that the Reserve Bank(Apex) will approve credit of this fund into your
account as contract payment to abstain you from all queries regarding the source
(originality) of this fund and will provide you (beneficiary) with contractual (data)
details to certify your bank or government if the need arises.Therefore, be kind
to clarify the following for my consideration:
1. Can your account accommodate this fund in your local bank without
government intervention or do you have an account outside your country where you
may consider safe for this fund ?.
2. What are taxation in your country like as I desire a low/free tax zone?.
3. What are the interest rates on long/short term fixed deposit in your local banks?.
4. What other lucrative investments would you suggest as I intend
banking, real estate and hotels if they are good business venture in your Country?.
5. Can you be able to make residential documents and purchase a house
for me and my family to relocate and settle in your country after the transaction?
Kindly indicate your private telephone and fax number for more
effeicient communication.
Looking forward to your anticipated urgent response.
Best regards,
MR.JOHN NUMVETTE
