Dear Sir/Madam
I am Barrister Mike William an attorney and Barrister at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.John Smith, a national of United States, who was the C.E.O of Ace Gold Company in South Africa. Herein after referred to as my client. On the 21st of Oct 1999, my client, his wife Valerie and their two Children (Larry and Daren) died in an auto crash on one of Eastern Cape roads. Since then I have made several enquiries to the Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives without success. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to look for somebody reliable to receive this fund hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in claiming the money and property left behind by my client before the bank confiscates or declare the fund unserviceable. Until his death my client had, and maintained a US Dollar currency deposit account with a closing balance of US$12M deposited with the ABSA BANK and I have received a written letter from the bank indicating to recover all such dormant and unclaimed accounts to reinvest it with other Funds through the capital market,but we have cleverly informed them that a member of his family as next of kin has shown interest to claim the deposited amount.
It is for the urgency of this claim that I write to you to stand and receive the money as Mr.John Smith next of kin since I have failed in attempts in locating the relatives for over 2 years now. seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since I can perfectly procure all the vital documents that would aid the transfer into any account of my choice abroad. I am prepared to disburse the money among ourselves depending on your early reply then we can discuss the modalities If this proposal is acceptable to you and youdo not intend to take undue advantage of the trust we shall bestow onyou and your company, then kindly respond immediately to this mail or call 27-83-965-2141,furnishing me with your confidential telephone and fax numbers. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used toback up any claim we may make regarding this fund.
As soon as I receive the aforesaid I shall contact you for us to workout the modalities for the transfer of this money into your account.All I require is your honesty and cooperation to enable us sees thisdeal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
Thanks,
Yours Faithfully
Barrister Mike William (ESQ)
