During the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1995 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner of this account is MR. HERMAN PETERS a foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1998. and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved tome as well that MR. HERMAN PETERS until his death was the manager Sulliv Coy.(pty). TG.
