Subject: REQUEST FOR A BUSINESS TRANSACTION
REQUEST FOR A BUSINESS TRANSACTION
FROM: MR Ryan Mason
10/11/2006
Dear:Sir
My names is Ryan Mason a native of South Africa currently residing in Nederland, I am a civil servant working with the department of Minerals and Energy in South Africa. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you comes by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. Please, to explain my reason and the importance of writing to you, sir, I am requesting your assistance in order to redeem an investment made with the South Africa Mining Corporation, in which I am a senior executive. The said investment now valued FIFTEEN MILLION,U.S. DOLLARS (U.S.$5.000,000.00) was purchased by mr. Terry Cook and contracted to the South Africa Mining Corporation in September 1977.This redeemable investment interest has now matured and has been cleared for disbursement since march of 1999.since then there has been an extensive global wide attempt to locate and notify any living relatives of mr.Terry that he died in December of 1987,We have confirmed through three independent search agencies that there are no living relatives in whose favour the investment can be paid.Being that two senior colleagues and myself are working as staffs in the account department of the Mining Corporation and Remittance department of the South Africa Reserve Bank,we have access to all mr.Terry’s information; we can claim this money with you. All we need to do is file this claim proclaiming you as the actual beneficiary.
The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar details to the late follow; l am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, l am prepared to share the money with you. That is: l will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 35% for you and 65% for my colleagues and me. L would have gone ahead to ask the funds be release to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with me same very name as the original depositor would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. l assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Mr. Terry I will then officially communicate with the firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm directly send the funds to anther bank with you as account holder. This way there will be on our need for you to think of receiving the money from them we can fine-tune this based on our interaction. l am aware of the consequences of this proposal.
lf you give me positive signals, i well initiate this process towards a conclusion. i wish to inform you that you should contact me via e-mail channels; all financial expenses shall be my sole responsibility relating to this proposal. l repeat, contact me only me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through the email address supplied. My official lines are not secure as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management policy. Please observe this instruction religiously.
Please, again, note i am family man, with responsibility. l send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have i have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. lf we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.
l await your response. Please for further question contact me, with the information below
