Subject: Mr. Samuel Sipho.
Mr. Samuel Sipho.
ABSA Bank Limited,
Johannesburg, South Africa.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Samuel Sipho, manager of bills/exchange at the foreign
remittance department of ABSA Bank. In my department, we discovered
an abandoned sum of US$14,700,000.00(Fourteen Million, Seven Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only) in an account that belonged to
one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family,
in 1996, in a ghastly plane crash, and he happened to be a
Foreigner. Since we got the 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 applied for it as next
of kin or a business partner to the deceased as indicated in our
Banking guidelines. Unfortunately, nobody has come forward to claim
this money.
It is based on this that some officials in my department and I have
decided to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence
by contacting you. We want you to present yourself as the business
partner of the deceased, so that the funds can be remitted into your
account.
Moreover, we do not want the money to go into the government account
as unclaimed bills. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates
that any account abandoned or is dormant for a period of years, is
deemed closed and all money contained therein forfeited to the
government treasury account.
Now, it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred
into the government account as an unclaimed fund on or before the
end of this financial quarter of 2006, when nobody come forward to
lay claims. The reason for requesting you to present yourself as
business partner, is occasioned by, the fact that the deceased
(customer) was a foreigner, and we have access to his detailed bio
data which you will hold as a weapon to present yourself as the
business partner. And I am assuring you that this transaction that
we are about to go into is 100% legitimate and risk free, so there
is nothing for you to worry about.
The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into
your account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you
will be expected to play in this deal, we have agreed to give you
25% of the total sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to
encounter by the two parties in the course of this transaction.
Therefore, you are expected to reply to this letter indicating your
readiness and interest to participate in this business. After
receiving your reply, you will be communicated to with the exact
steps to take.
As a result of the urgency and time being of great essence in these
transactions, I'll appreciate if you can kindly forward to me the
following information?.
(1) Your direct telephone number(s)
(2) Your Fax number
(3) Your Full Names.
(4) Your Age.
(5) Your Occupation/Profession
So that I can contact you and explain to you more details regarding
to this transaction and fax to you the Bio-data of the deceased so
that you can apply for the fund. I expect your urgent response
through my email address and I shall contact
you for further discussion on this matter, to enable us conclude
this transaction urgently without any delay or hitch.
Please treat this business proposal as strictly confidential for
security reasons considering my official position in ABSA Bank.
Personal Regards,
Mr. Samuel Sipho.
