SUBJECT: LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT
Dear President/ Managing Director,
I am Barrister WILLIAM ZUNGU of the above law firm and the legal adviser to
Engineer Parmjit Singh, a national of Malaysia who used to be a contractor
with (ANGLO GOLD MINES) Mafikeng. Gold Mining/ Exploration Corporation in
South Africa hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
On February 21, 2004 my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives. Since then I have made several personal inquiries from the
embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I now decided to inform you, hence I
contacted you. I have send you this letter to assist in repatriating the
money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged, particularly
the Standard Bank of South Africa, where the deceased had an account valued
at about US$20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars only) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated though there are persons of same as a nationals
here in South Africa non of them is a direct relative with the deceased and
no one had an idea of this deposit. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over a period of time, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin to the deceased since the bank would not
released the fund to local person here is south Africa, so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only) can be transferred into your designated
account and I shall proceed down to your country on confirmation of the
fund in your account to discuss with you on how to invest the money,
meanwhile you will be required here (South Africa) to endorse your signature
on some of the documents as the next of kin to the deceased once the fund
has been approved by the bank.
I shall revalidate and notarize all the necessary legal documents that WILL
back up any claim that the bank may need, this is a 100% risk free
transaction because the banker who is in charge of account section is
involved. I will let you know the benefiting conditions of your help in my
next message when I receive your positive response. I guarantee you this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
Kindly call me on my phone number before sending any fax or email message
for security reasons. I need your strong assurance and confidentiality. My
email is, williamzungu@hotmail.com
God bless us.
Best regards,
HON. WILLIAM ZUNGU(BARRISTER)
