Subject: Capital Management.
Attention:
RE: TRANSFER OF US$113,000,000.00 [One Hundred and Thirteen
Million United States Dollars Only].
My name is Stephen Smith; I am the operational manager in
account management section in charge of credit and foreign
bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. There
is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by this great late
diamond and oil magnet that died with his family on the 18th
day of July 2003 on a Fatal Auto-Accident leaving no
beneficiary to the account and no other person knows about
this account. Since his death I personally has watched with
keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved
abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no other
person knows about this account or anything concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he
was the manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $113,000.000.00 USD. [One
Hundred and Thirteen Million United States Dollar Only] We
wish to start the first transfer with $13,000.000.00
[Thirteen Million] and upon successful transaction without
any disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply for the
transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of
the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a
successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account,
which you are going to nominate for the transfer. On this
note, I want you to act as the foreign beneficiary of the
fund from the deceased by providing your bank account where
the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any
viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay
more than 3 years without claim hence the money will be
recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this
long period of dormancy.
At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be
for me, I will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10%
for charity both in Africa and in your country while the
remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both
parties might incur during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you detailed
information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble
free and that you should not entertain any fear as all
modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9
banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary
of the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me e-mail or you
can call me. You should also include your private fax and
phone numbers for easy and safe communication.
CONTACT;
Most confidential: +27-736904314;
Contact me urgently for further detail.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Stephen Smith
