Subject: PRIVATE MEMO
CONFIDENTIAL
Hello,
This letter could come you as a surprise, but I will want you to understand that it is in good
intention. I am Mr. Dumi Williams, a Province Manager of South Africa Bank, Johannesburg. I have a confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 2001, a foreign mining contractor with the South Africa Mining Corporation, Mr. Johan schnider made a numbered time (fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$11,000,000.00 (Eleven Million United States Dollars) in my branch of the bank.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally discovered from his contract employers that Mr. Schnider died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a
WILL. And all attempts to trace his next of kin turned out fruitless. With further investigations it was discovered that Mr. Schnider did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and his fund [US$11,000,000.00] is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. Consequently, no one will ever come forward to claim this large sum of money.
According to South Africa Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the South Africa Government if no individual applies to claim this fund. Henceforth, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Schnider in order that the
fund could be transferred to your foreign account claiming to be the next of kin of the late account owner. At your response signifying your interest in this proposal, I shall provide you with details and relevant documents that will explicitly assist you to understand this transaction better.
<--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> A bank account in any part of the world provided
will facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the next of kin to the late account owner. After the fund has been transferred into your foreign bank account, we shall discuss about your percentage/commission and expenses involved, incurred at both ends.
Please note that all modalities have been worked out to ensure a flawless transfer of the fund into any foreign bank account made available.
Consequently my position at the bank would guarantee a successful execution of this transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality in this transaction considering the source of the fund. Please note that it is very important you respond directly through the stated email address (dumi.williams@yahoo.ca) if my proposal arouse your interest.
Dumi Williams.
