It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact that
we've not met.
First, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr. Lawrence
Jonker , Manager, Bill and Exchange of the Foreign Remittance Department,
ABSA Bank South Africa. I am writing you this letter to ask for your support
and co-operation to carry out a transaction. We discovered an abandoned Sum
of US$20.5Million (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) in an account that belonged to one of our foreign customer Mr Larry
Baldridge an American and great industrialist and a resident of Novato,
California, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Comair
Airlines Flight 5191 which crahsed on Sunday 26th August 2006 in Kentucky
Lexington,Ky. leaving nobody as nest of kin. You shall read more news about
the crash on visiting this site:
www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/01/Comair.airlines.list/
Since this development, we have made fervent effort advertising for his next
of kin or any close relation to come forward to claim this money, but nobody
came to apply for the money. The management under the influence of our
chairman and board of directors, are making arrangement for the fund to be
declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and then be subsequently transferred to the Federal
Government Reserves.
In order to avert this development. Myself and some of my Trusted colleagues
in the Bank, now seek for your permission to have you stand as the next of
kin so that the fund (USD$20.5M), would be subsequently transferred and paid
into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin. All documents and
proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out from my
table and I will perfect every documents to be in accordance to the banking
laws and guidelines hence you have nothing to worry about for we are
assuring you a 100% risk free involvement.
All we required from you is to open a local bank account in your name here
in South Africa where the money is to be deposited, before onward transfer
to your designated account in your country. We have agreed that 30% of the
money will be for you, 10% for expenses incurred while 60% will be for me
and my colleagues. If you are going to help me, indicate by replying this
letter, putting in your contact address, your direct telephone and fax
numbers.
I await your immediate reply to enable us start this transaction in earnest.
You can reply through this my private e-mail address [deleted]. Once I
receive your reply, I will send you the text of application for immediate
application of claim. If this proposal is fine by you, then kindly get to me
immediately via this confidential email address only [deleted] furnishing me
with your most confidential telephone, fax and email, so I can forward to
you the relevant details of this transaction and keep the confidentiality
needed in this business.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Best Regard.
Mr Lawrence Jonker
