ATTENION: THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
DEAR SIR,
RE: CLAIMS
GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE ORGANISATION AND FAMILY.
I AM THE CONFIDENTIAL SECRETARY FOR THE INVESTMENT CONTROLER OF SOUTH AFRICAN MINING CORPORATION. MY BOSS INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT YOU IN RESPECT OF A CLAIM / DIVIDEN WHICH HAS MATURED SINCE YEAR 2006 BUT NOT YET COLLECTED.
AFTER OUR INVESTICATION, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE INVESTOR DIED IN 2004 AND FROM THE CONTENT OF HIS FILE WITH US, WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO NEXT OF KIN IN HIS DETAILS AS HE PROMISED TO FORWARD THE INFORMATION LATTER TO US.BUT THIS HE DID NOT PROVIDE UNTILL HE DIED.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION TO TRACE THE ROOT OF THE INVESTOR WAS MADE VERY COMPLEX AS THE INFORMATION AND DETAILS HE PROVIDED CONFIRMED THAT HIS WIFE AND ONLY SON DIED IN AN AIRCRASH IN THE YEAR 2002. THE WORLD IS FULL OF SURPRISES SINCE A MAN CAN INVEST MILLIONS OF US DOLLARS WITHOUT TRACABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HIM.
HOWEVER, MY BOSS IS TAKING IT UPON HIMSELF TO TRACE THE NEXT OF KIN IN OTHER TO CLAIM THE US$152,000,000.00 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO MILLION, US DOLLARS ONLY) WHICH IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAYABLE TO THE NEXT OF KIN AS ALL THE LOCAL TAXES HAS ALREADY BEEN DEDUCTED AND THE CASH ALREADY WITHDRAWN FROM SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK AND BOXED.
THIS CASH HAS BEEN DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY WAREHOUSE IN SOUTH AFRICA WITHOUT THE SECURITY WAREHOUSE OPERATORS KNOWING THE TRUE CONTENT OF THE BOXES FOR SECURITY REASONS. THEY WERE TOLD THAT IT CONTAINS COMPANY TRESURES AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND THE CORPORATION PAID THEM US$10,000.00 ON BEHALF OF THE BENEFICIARY AS THE INITIAL DEPOSIT FOR THE SAFE KEEPING OF THE BOXES.
WE ARE SEEKING YOUR PEMITION TO USE YOUR NAME AND PROCESS THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO ENABLE YOU COLLECT THE MONEY TO AVOID THE CASH BEING RETUREND TO SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT AS UNTRACABLE / UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND. WE CANNOT WAIT AND SEE SUCH AMOUNT OF MONEY WASTED INTO GOVERNMENT POCKET IF THIS CLAIM IS NOT MADE WITHIN THREE MONTHS TIME FROM NOW.
WE WILL SHARE THE MONEY ON RATIO OF 40% TO YOU AND 60% TO US AFTER THE DIVIDEND HAS BEEN PAID TO YOU. BEAR IN MIND THAT ALL THE CLAIM PROCESS WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN 5 WORKING DAYS TO COMPLETE AND THE MONEY WILL BE READY FOR YOU TO COLLECT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS 100% LEGAL AND RISK FREE, PLEASE TREAT AS MOST URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
BEST REGARDS,
MR PAUL BOMA
