BETWEEN US MUTUAL BENEFITS
Dear Friend.
My name is Mr. Mbo Peters, Assistant Manager of South African Financial Service Board (FSB) The Board has an Interest
Generation Account which is designed to get customers invest their money with Profitable Companies in South Africa through their
Deposits with African Development Bank Group. Most Expatriate who come into South Africa has also been encouraged by the
Home office to open account with us for this purpose.
The Deal I want to discuss with you is that I have here in my Branch 378 files which have been confirmed to belong to Foreigners
who lived in South Africa years back, opened account and gone back to their respective countries without knowing about the
Interests. I ,as assistant Manager is under Obligation to transfer these funds to the home office account through African
Development Bank Group, since the customers are unreachable. This is why I am sending this email to you.
I want you to partner with me, Let us use your contact / Bank details and other information of yours to represent as the owner of two
important files that generated huge amount interest. I have concluded my search and confirmed that the beneficiaries are not aware
of the Interests since they have withdrawn their Capital Investments and closed down their accounts with our Board.
Be informed that they have withdrawn their money and closed these accounts on the 4th of April 2007 from the information I have
before me in their respective files an Interest of 7.500,000.00 and 5,200, 000.00 the total amount involved in these two accounts are
12,700,000.00 United States Dollars . A 5% tax will be deducted according to the Law and the rest will be transferred to your
account.
Meanwhile, I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2007 to my head office here Pretoria and they
will never know of this interest. I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary with African
Development Bank Group.
Upon your response, I will configure your name and address on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then
guide you on how to apply to the paying Bank for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated
bank account.
If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 30% of the funds while 70% shall be for me. Do contact me by e-mail: (
mbopeters@webmail.co.za )
Looking forward to your immediate response
Thanks
Mr. Mbo Peters
