AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION
ADB BANK , SOUTH AFRICA,
Dear, Sir
I am. MR NELSON PERRY, a director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK{ADB} IN SOUTH AFRICA, with due
respect
and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died
on
October 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either
>from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
The
said amount was U.S $10.2M (Ten million, two hundred thousand United
States
dollars)
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through
the SOUTH AFRICA chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here
in
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bona
fide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives
and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to
this
great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone
but
because of my position in this country as a civil servant (A Banker),
we are
not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an
eye
brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this
bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath
to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the
money to
be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due
verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the
whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of
the
total sum as your commission, while 5% will be set aside to take care
of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer while 65% will be
for me
and my partners. Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret" as
I am
still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude
this
deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your
country
for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country
you
advice us to invest in. All other vital information will be sent to you
when
I hear from you. I look forward to receive your immediate response
through
my email:nelsonperry1@yahoo.com,or Fax No27-865139272.
We wait for your positive response.
Regards,
Mr. Nelson Perry
