COLLABORATION
Goodday!
I am Mr. William Bongani, a staff of Standard Bank of South Africa . I am
writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense
benefit to both of us. In my department we discovered a dormant account
having the sum of US$ 15.4M (Fifteen Million Four Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) on that belong to one of our customer a foreigner late Mrs.
Joyce Lake an American who unfortunately lost her life in the plane crash of
Alaska Airline Flight 261 which crash on the 31st January 2000, including
her husband Mr. Ronald Lake. You can read more about the crash on visiting
this site.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/626628.stm Since we got the
information about her death, we have been silently expecting her next of kin
or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relative to the deceased
as in indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately we learnt that her
suppose next of kin being her husband Mr. Ronald Lake also died along with
her in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund.
Therefore upon this discovery that I as the head of this department now
decide to make business with you and release the money to you as next of kin
or beneficiary of the fund for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this to go back into the
government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money after eighty
years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund.
If you agreed to Assist in this transaction that 20% of this fund would be
for you as our foreign partner and for your kind assistance, while the
balance will be for us but will be channeled into investment in your country
which will be in your directive. I will be visiting your country for the
disbursement according to the percentages indicated above and for a business
plans once the money gets into your account. Please be honest to me because
in this transaction trust is our watchword.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive
this mail you should contact me via my private email address (
w.bongani@gmail.com ) or call me on my private telephone number 00 -27-
79-096-9628, kindly note also that all necessary arrangement for the smooth
release of this fund to you has been finalized.
We will discuss in details when I do receive your response. Please in your
response do include your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
Best Regards.
Mr. William Bongani
