Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM SAMUEL TAMBO.
CONFIDENTIAL
HI DEAR
I know this letter is coming to you as a surprise, but please I will want you to understand that it is in good intention. I am. Samuel Tambo a banker working with one of the South African banks. I have a confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1998 a foreign mining contractor with the South Africa Mining Corporation, Gerald Welsh made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$18,200,000.00 (Eighteen Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers that Mr. Gerald Welsh died since Oct 31ST 1999 in an Egyptian Air's Flight 990,along with his wife Mrs. Caryl Welsh. The contract employer then wrote down these website for me to further clear my doubts in him: http://www.bromike.com/departed/egypt.html. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Gerald Welsh did not declare any kin or relations in ll his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank and his fund [US$18,200,000.00] is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year and no one will ever come forward to claim it. According to South Africa Law, at the expiration of 7(seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. equently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Gerald Welsh, so that the fund could be transferred to you as the next of kin to the late account owner. At your response signifying your interest in this proposal, I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand this transaction better. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the next of kin to the late account owner. After the fund is transferred into your foreign bank account, we shall discuss about your percentage/commission and expenses involved incurred by both sides.Please note that all modality has been worked out to ensure the smooth transfer of the fund into your foreign bank account and my position at the bank would guarantee the successful execution of this transaction; please observe utmost confidentiality in this transaction considering the source of the fund. Please reply to my alternative email address (samueltambo10@hotmail.com) for privacy reasons.Thanks.
AwaitRegards for your response.
