Dear Friend,
I am the Group Executive Director at the auditing and accounting department
of ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA. I am writing to seek your cooperation over
this business deal. In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of
$14million USD (Fourteen Million United States Dollars) only, in an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire
family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, East Africa, the Late
GEORGE BRUMLEY JR, a nationality of Atlanta, U.S.A, who was a retired head
of pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine, and had resided in
Africa and as well some part of the world.
On the 19th July 2003, GEORGE BRUMLEY JR, and his wife Jean, with their six
children and their two son in-laws were involved in airplane crash. All
Occupants of the Kenya Airlines plane unfortunately lost their lives.
Please, visit the website below for more information's about the Plane Crash
and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, Late GEORGE
BRUMLE
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html or the
American Legacy:

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next
of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody
behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided
to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you via your
foreign bank account as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and this
money Could go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulate that if such money remained
unclaimed after 6 years, the money will be transferred into the Bank's
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance and maximum
co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a
foreigner and a South African cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. 40
% of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account. 55 % would be for me and also the remaining
5% will be for any expenses such like telephone bills which most involved in
this transaction and it will all be deducted out from the total money when
it is been transferred to your account over there. There after I will come
over to your country for disbursement according the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as the relation or next of kin to the
deceased, indicating your claims and wherein the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
application, which you will fill, and forward to the office of the foreign
remittance director of Absa Bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is strictly confidential and I will use my position in
this Bank to affect a hitch free transfer of the fund. If you are
interested, please replies immediately via my Personal Official Email
address:
nkatekopetermageza-absa@accountant.com
I plead with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do
not expose this information to any one.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Nkateko Peter Mageza.
