Subject: From the desk of Dr. Zaza Mthembu.
PLEASE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­.
I REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE.
I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. I am staff of one of the leading bank in South Africa , in my department we discovered an abandoned large sum of money belonging to one of our Foreign Costumer. There was an account opened in this Bank in 1998 and since late 1999 nobody has operated this account. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited to the Government as unserviceable funds.
The owner of this account is MR GERALD WELSH, a foreigner EGYPTIAN/U.S.A. He was a contractor/consultant to KRUGER MINING (SA) INC a South African Government Owned Mining Company. He was a Geologist by profession and he died since Oct 31ST, 1999. He died in an air crash along with his family (wife Mrs. Caryl Welsh) in Oct 31st, 1999 in an Egyptian Air's Flight 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below from Publisher by
www.zenpageweavers.com/malikahti/journal/flight.html.
No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it. The account has no other beneficiary and our investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything about his account and the amount involved is Fourteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars and no one has ever come to service the account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner and to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank here but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr. Gerald Welsh (a United States Citizen). Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit or coming over, since our period of disengagement from the civil service is near. We are presently
affected by the South Africa civil service code of conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign accounts. I have the authority of my partners in office to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share as compensation will be approximately Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (Twenty Percent) while my colleagues and I receive Eleven Million United States Dollars. This transaction is one hundred percent risk free provided you treat it with a high level of confidentiality, as we are still active in our respective portfolios in office. Furthermore, your area of specialization and country is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.
The strategy is to use my position and influence as the Head of the branch and Personal Account office of the deceased to present you as a next of Kin and beneficiary of the deposit. I want to assure you that I have concluded all local modalities for the successful completion of this within 10 banking days of your agreement to proceed with me as the required assistance is perfected to be 100% risk free. I expect your urgent response and if you are willing in the affirmative, I shall advice you on what we need to do and I will appreciate you as soon as possible for further clarification.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
DR. ZAZA MTHEMBU
