Dear Beloved,
Please permit me to introduce my humble self, I am Mr. PATRICK ZUMA. I got your address from the internet, and my confidence reposed on you. I hope you read this message carefully and reply me immediately. Although we have not met before I suggest that this transaction will bring us together.
My dear, we have a customer, a foreigner based here in South Africa with his wife and two children .He has being banking with our bank for the past 5yrs. some time August 2002, he was on his way to his house with his families unfortunately they ran into a Trailer load of Groundnut Oil, and he died at the spot with his families no single soul was saved because his car got burnt. He and his entire family were Confirmed dead.
My Board of Directors and Board Management of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA) has mandated and instructed me to look for his Relation/relatives and his next of Kin to come and claim his Fund, Since August 2003 till date, I have been looking for his relations and relatives/Next of Kin to come and claim his Fund which he deposited with our bank, I have contacted his Embassy and after 3 days, his Ambassador told me that he has no relation and no next of kin, their Ambassador told me that he used his first son as his next of kin, but it is quite unfortunate that he died with all his family members.
The reason why I contacted you is,that the man is dead, and his only son who supposed to inherit his properties and money also died with him. As at this moment, nobody or person[s] is coming to claim this money from our bank. The board directors and management of our bank has told me that if nobody or person[s] apply for the claim of his Fund, the bank will return his Fund into our Federal Reserve.
In the Light of the above, I want you to stand as the Relation/relative of the Late customer; I want you to act as his relative, so that you will inherit his Money which he deposited with our bank, it might interest you to know that the man made a special deposit with our Bank and he has a total sum of US$9.2M (Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars) and this money is still in with my bank as unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm the Manager for International Relations with Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA), and the Management and Board Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide any Relation or next of Kin to the late customer, of which I told them that I am still searching the next of kin to the deceased.
Finally, if you are interested contact me on the above telephone or email for further procedure. Note: all legality in this transaction must be fully observed to ensure a success transfer. A separate account must be open where the said amount will be transfer.
Please feel free to ask any questions. We will share the money 50-50; you will take 50% of the US$9.2M and 50% will be mine. THE AREA OF YOUR PACITIPATION ARE AS FOLLOWS.
1: You will send me your names in full.2: The account details where the funds/money will be transfer into.3: Your passport copy.4: Your home address including your private telephone and fax numbers.5: Your age and occupation.
Remember that this transaction require your confidentiality and don't forget to call me immediately after sending mail on the above email address and telephone number above.Waiting for your immediate response.
Thanks and have a nice day.
God blessMr. PATRICK ZUMA
