Subject: REMITTANCE OF US$
From: Mr.Jeffrey Nkossi

"REMITTANCE OF US$18.5M US DOLLARS, STRICTLY ON CONFIDENTIAL BASES"
Hello,
Greetings, Please forgive my indignation if this message comes to you
as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without
your prior consent and writing you through this channel. I got your
contact from the data-base I found on the internet, when I was searching
for a reliable foreign partner that can have the capability and
reliability to champion a very big business opportunity.
After series of prayers/fasting to carry out the business effectively,
I was divinely directed to contact you amongst other names I found in
the Yahoo data base search engine. I believe that God has a way of
helping who is in need. I am Mr.Jeffrey Nkossi, the Head of Clients archive
files in the Accounts Department of one of the prime banks in South
Africa. I discovered an abandoned sum of $18.5 million US Dollars
(Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand US. Dollars) flouting in an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died on the 28/07/2000 in
a ghastly car accident, according to my careful investigation.
Since we got information about his death, the bank have been expecting
his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking policy, but unfortunately
nobody has claimed this money yet. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I decided to make this business proposal to you, to seek your
consent and support to release the money to you with your details as the
next of kin or relation to the deceased for a safety and subsequent
disbursement of the money since nobody is coming for it and because I don’t
want this money to go into the bank’s treasury as an unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after a certain period of years, the money will be
transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a
foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner, and only a foreigner can stand as next of kin
before this money can be approved for payment.
I am willing to offer you 25% of this money as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account where the money will be
deposited, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred in the process of the
business and 70 % would be for my future investment purpose overseas. I
will visit your country for sharing according to the percentage
indicated here, immediately this money is transferred. The procedure to
enable
immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, is you must apply
first to the bank as a relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your contact address, your bank name, your bank account details,
your telephone and fax number for more effective communication and
location where the money will be remitted.
As soon as I received of your response, I will send to you by fax or
email the text of the application to claim this money. And I will not
fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have
been made for the transfer.
You should please contact me on this email jeffrey_nkossi@yahoo.com when you
received this letter so that we can discuss very well over this business.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Jeffrey Nkossi
NOTE: Please you have to keep everything secret as to enable the
transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will provide to the
bank. From: Mr.Jeffrey Nkossi
