Dear Friend.
I know this letter will reach you as a surprise, but
you need not to worry as we are using the only secured
and confidential medium available to seek for foreign
assistance/partnership in a business transaction,
which is of mutual benefit. I work in an auditing
department of the African Development Bank Plc, (Cape
Town) South Africa which I have served as a staff for
the past eight years. A foreigner, late Engr. Nicolas
O. Giannis, an oil merchant/contractor with the
federal republic of South Africa, who have bank with
us until his death three years ago; has a closing
balance of US$4.5Million (Four Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which our bank
now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his
available next of kin or alternatively have the funds
donated to the trust fund of the African Union (AU)
peace keeping forces. Deliberate effort has being made
by our bank to get in touch with any of this late
Engr. Nicolas O. Giannis family or relatives but all
have proved abortive. It is because of the perceived
possibility of not going to be able to locate any of
his next of kin as he do not have wife or child; that
the management under the influence of our chairman are
now making arrangement for the funds to be declared
unclaimed and then be subsequently be donated to the
Trust Fund for Arms and ammunition which might further
enhance the course of War in the African Continent and
the world in general.
In order to avert this negative development, myself
and some of my trusted colleagues in our bank now seek
your permission to have you stand as the next of kin
to late Engr. Giannis so as for this funds (US$4.5M)
to be transferred into your bank account as the
beneficiary’s next of kin. All documents and proofs to
enable you get these funds has been carefully worked
out and we are assuring you of a 100% risk free
transaction. Your share for providing us your
assistance will be 30% of the total funds while the
rest will be for us as we are only trying to make a
better future for our family, considering the poor
standard of living in Africa. If this proposal is okay
by you, then you can contact me through the below
email address for am currently in the Netherlands
for a bank refresher course.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation as i hope
to hear from you.
Best Regards.
CARLOS DA SILVA.
