Subject: BUILDING MY TRUST IN YOU..
From: Mr. Brian Newman.
The Principal Executive Officer, Audit Department First National Bank PTY
South Africa.
+27 73 266 8037.
Attn: Sir,
In our search for a trustworthy individual to work with us on a very
important and confidential project, we came across your esteemed profile in
our Chambers of Commerce and Industries in the South Africa .
My name is Mr. Brian Newman, Principal Executive Officer, Audit Department,
First National Bank PTY here in The South Africa. During the yearly
preliminary in-house auditing of accounts, I discovered an account opened in
2000 and since 2004 has remained dormant which means that nobody has been
operating it up till date. The total amount in this account is $14.5Million
united states dollars accrued interest.
Working together with the audit manager, we decided to investigate this
account for more information. We discovered that the owner of this account,
a foreigner has died inter-state leaving no heirs or next of kin who could
make a claim. Presently, we are the only two people in our organization with
access to this information and we have decided to keep it that way and claim
the money for ourselves using a third party who will take the place of the
deceased (next of kin). We will supply the necessary information on the
deceased and ensure that the claim application is giving immediate approval.
Documents like the death certificate will be arranged and forwarded to you
for onward submission to the bank. The project is risk-free as we will use
contacts that hold strategic positions in the bank to effect a successful
completion of the project and also ensure that all traces of our mutual
involvement are completely wiped off. These presents no problem as all
documented evidence will be directly under their supervision.
We have earmarked a commission of 25% of the total amount for you. A further
5% will be set aside to cover expenses on both sides, which will include
expenses incurred in processing this claim. The remaining 70% you will help
us invest in a profitable stocks and shares in your country.
We would like to get your decision to this proposal as soon as possible. On
receipt of your decision, we will fax or email you explicit details of the
already completed groundwork on this project.
You can contact me at all times on the above email address.
Best Regards,
Mr. Brian Newman.
