Subject: IMPORTANT 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
$34,000,000.00USD
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
