Attention Please !!

With due respect, trust and humility I decided to consult you towards this profitable business opportunity, In point of introduction, I am Mr. Karen De Beer, Director for Investor Relations and Shareholder Details in BANK OF AFRICA. I got your contact through a friend of my who works with the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry Int. Department, while searching for an honest and trustworthy person, who will assist me to implement this transfer. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of Twenty-Two Million, Five Hundred Thousands United States Dollars (US$22,500,000.00) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 1998 in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking policy guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to send you this proposal to stand as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it because I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund as the banking law policy and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

More so, the reason why I contacted you towards this transaction is due to the need involved a foreigner, foreign account and foreign beneficiary to stand as next of kin, as this transaction occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and south African citizen cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I am therefore soliciting for your assistance to come forward as the next of kin as I will furnish you all the necessary details, documents to be required from you in future because all is with me.

On the conclusion of this transaction as soon as this money is transferred to any safe/ trust account of your choice from BANK OF AFRICA, I have agreed to offer you 40% of the total money as the beneficiary in respect of the provision of your Account and services rendered, and 55% would be for me of my investments there in your country as per you guidelines been a citizen there, while 5% will be for expenses incurred during the cause of this transaction.

Finally, be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free on both sides and every arrangement to transfer this money to the account you are going to provide have been concluded provided we maintain the secret and confidentiality of this transaction till this money arrives into your account. If my proposal is acceptable by you, get back to me by indicating your full details, private telephone and fax numbers for easier communications.

Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Karen De Beer.
