Greetings!
I wish to approach you with a request that would be of immense benefit to both of us. My name is Mr.Jensen Noorgard, I am the Head Accounts Management Section of a well-known Bank here in South Africa. I want you and I to make some fortune out of a situation that I am obviously left with no other better option.
One of our accounts with holding balance of US$6, 200,000.00 (Six Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollar) has been dormant and last operated in the past four (4) years. From investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a Hong Kong Foreigner by name Engineer Wing Chiu Lee died on the 4th of January 2002 in an automobile accident along Pretoria N1 High-Way.
Since then nobody has done anything as regards to the claiming of this money as he has no family member that is aware of the existence of either the account or the fund. Several attempt to trace any of his relative proof abortive and also Information from the National Immigration office states that late Engineer Wing Chiu Lee was single on point of entry into South Africa .
Our Financial Institution is presently and by law the custodian of the money belonging to the deceased, whose account I am responsible for monitoring and officiating. The present mandate I have to present a credible beneficiary opens the way for us to take advantage of the situation and use the money to positively affect the lives of many instead of allowing the funds to be completely lost, since no one knows about the money and no one will come forward to claim the money as we already know.
I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of this fund from the deceased and fund released to you after due processes have been followed.
The sharing ratio shall be 60% for me and 40% for you. This shall also be applicable to all expenditures that would be incurred in the course of the transaction because I wouldn?t want either of us to feel cheated.
Please note that this is a legal and risk free transaction that does not in anyway hamper
the monetary laws of your country. It is an inheritance fund.
I will appreciate your urgent response in this regard.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.You can as well reach me on:
Sincerely,
Mr.Jensen Noorgard
