From: "chris Nissen" <chrisnissen2006@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:47:53 +0500
Subject: PATNERSHIP REQUEST
Attention: Sir / Madam,
My Name is Chris Nissen. A credit officer with one of the leading Bank
in Republic of South Africa. I have presently been transferred to our
affiliate Bank in the Ottawa , Canada to monitor the transfer and safe
keeping of
our late foreign customers Funds MR.ANDREAS SNYDER from
GERMANY. I was the personal accountant to our foreign customer who died
along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash leaving behind a
total sum of (USD14.5MILLION) in our Bank.
Details of the tragedy can be found in this page below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since we got information about his death, I 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 next of kin or
relation to the Deceased as indicated in our
guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside
with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I now
decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to
you as the next of kin or relation to
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and we don't want this money
to go into the Apex bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be
transferred into the Apex bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request
of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and an Indigene cannot stand as next of
kin to a foreigner.Your percentage will be declared to you as soon as
you indicate your interest. Therefore, to
enable the immediate claims of this fund by you in line with our
perfected modality; you must apply first as
relation or next of kin of the deceased.
Please kindly indicate the following in your response:
1. Your full name and address
2. Your telephone and fax number for easy
communication.
3. Your company's name and address.
I want you to know that it does not really matter if you have different
first name
and surname with the deceased , we are able to establish you as the true
next of kin / actual beneficiary 100 % risk free and no trace whatsoever.
Upon receipt of your reply,I will contact you to give more details .I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100%
risk free and please keep it confidential.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Sincerely Yours,
Chris Nissen
