Attn: The President/CEO
I am Mr. Lewis Kibuuka, Manager Standard Bank of South Africa, Cape town,
Branch. I have an investment programmed for you.
On June 6, 2001, a foreign mining consultant/contractor with the South Africa
Mining Corporation, Mr. Roger Beck made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,
the South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr. Roger Beck died from an automobile
accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making
a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Roger Beck
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. According to South African Law, at the expiration of 7 (Seven)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government
if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Roger Beck so that the fruits of this old man's
labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.The
money will be shared in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address: lewis_kibuuka001@yahoo.co.uk.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: lewis_kibuuka001@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Lewis Kibuuka.
