DAER Sir,Madam,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am Mr Desmond Khumalo the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Amalgameted Bank of South Africa(ABSA)in Johannesburg 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(Arthur Morier Billings) who died on a plane crash while he was on a
trip to trinidad and tobago in 2002, 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 and even after our discovery.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partner to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount is US$ 15M (fifteen million
United States Dollars).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide 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, 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 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. May I at this point emphasize that
this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a
successful deal before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of the total sum as gratification,
while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 70% will be for me and
my partners for investments overseas and the remaining 5% will be dedicated
to charity homes.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are 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 our bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages reviously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us
to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I
suggest you get back to me on my confidentially phone number +27-84-936-1464
as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Desmond Khumalo
