DEAR SIR/CEO,
STRICTLY FOR YOU & NEEDS URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE!
This Letter Was First Sent To You via Post Mail Two Months Ago, But Uphill Now, I Have Not Heard From You. Based On This, I Decided To Reach You through This Means. Though, I Know For Security Reasons, This Is Not The Safest Means To Reach You, But Was Left With No Other Viable Option Since There Is The Pressing Need To Reach You.
I Am Quite Sure That This Mail Will Surprise You Since I Have Not Been Having Previous Correspondences With You. My Name Is SIBANDA Levi (MR), The Bank Manager Of The Above Named Bank. I Have A Good Business Proposition For You Which I Know By That, By The Special Grace Of God Will Be Beneficial To You. Firstly Before I Proceed, I Have To assure you that This Mail Is Neither Junk, Illusion nor Mere Imagination, But Practically Achievable If Given Your Maximum Support and Cooperation.
In June 2003, Mr. Paul Anderson An American Civil Engineer With The Southern African Institute Of Steel Construction, (Saisco) Deposited The Sum Of $24.5 million Us Dollars With Our Bank On A Three Year Fixed Deposit Basis. With His Son Mr. Greg Anderson Registered As The Next Of Kin / Beneficiary To The Account.
After The Three Years Expired, Mr. Paul Anderson was not seen nor heard From Even the Son Who Is the Beneficiary, Nothing Was Heard from Him. Therefore, I Decided To Roll It Over. Since Then it has been rolling over I Have Sent Mails, Faxes to His Numbers and Addresses Given Still No Response.
I was forced to contact The (Saisco) He has been working With but Was Surprised to Hear That He and The Son Died in an Auto Crash Just A Year after He Deposited the Money with Us. May His Soul Rest in Peace. The South African Law States That, In Cases like this; The Money should be returned To the Government Account. I Am Seriously Against Returning This Old Mans Sweat To The Govt. Account, Because One Of The Officials Will Steal This Money From The Govt. Account, so I have Decided To Divert This Money To My Own Private Use. Already I Have Used My Good Contact to Withdraw This Money & transfer it to South African Reserve Bank for smooth and successful transfer of the fund. I Am Writing for You To Assist Me In Safekeeping Of This Money As Well As For Investment Purposes.
You Are to Take 30% Of the Total Sum for Your Assistance, 5% to take care of all the expenses incurred during this transaction, while The Remaining will be for my Investment in your Country. On Receipt of Your Acceptance Letter, And A Mutual Agreement Is Reached Between Us,
I Will Send to You All the Vital Documents Relevant to This Transaction to Enable You Claim the Consignment of Money on Delivery.
Anticipating Your Urgent and Favorable Response to This Business Proposition. Please I am counting on you.
Best Regards,
SIBANDA Levi (MR)
