FROM THE DESK OF DGNEDBANK OF SOUTH AFRICA.EMAIL:ADDESS: martinscaleb1960@yahoo.caTEL/FAX: 27112197455 US$30 MILLION TRANSFER Dear CEO, I am the bank manager Ned bank of South Africa (NED). I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. A British gold contractor/consultant with South Africa Solid Gold Corporations, Mr. William Bryant made numbered time fixed deposit for twelve calendar month, valued at 30 000 000 in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding addresses but got no reply. After a month we sent a r4eminder and finally we discovered from his employers that William Bryant died in a plane crash on the 261. Since we got this information about his death on further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempt to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. William Bryant did not declare any relation nor his next of kin in all his official documents including his bank deposit paper work with my branch, this sum of 30 000 000 is still sitting in my bank and the interest is been rolled over the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to lay a claim on it according the laws of South Africa, at the expiration of seven years(7), the money will be sent to governments treasury purse and unclaimed fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. William Bryant so that the effort of this old man will not get to the hand of some corrupt government officials. This is simply; I will like you to provide immediately, your full details as to enable the attorney work with it to put you forward as the next of kin to Mr. Williams Bryant. We shall employ the services of an attorney to prepare and obtain all the necessary documents to back us up for the claims. A bank account in any part of the world will then facilitate the transfer of this money, as the beneficiary next of kin. The money will be paid into your account and will be shared in the ratio of 50%,50%. There is no risk at all as all the paper work for this transaction will be done by an attorney and my position as the branch manager will guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall provide you with more details and more relevant document to enable your understand the transaction more.
