Dear Sir/Madam
My name is William Zuma, I am the operational manager in account management
section incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here
in South Africa. I realise you will be surprised to recieve this mail, I got
your contact through the S.A.I.E. when searching for a reliable person who
will assist me. And I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank
who perished with his whole family in an autocrash. There is an account
opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late INDUSTRIALIST who died
without a written or oral WILL attatched to the account.
Since his death , I personally have watched with keen interest to see the *next
of kin* but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds
and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of
his company.
The total amount involved is 106,000,000.00 USD.[ One hundred and six
million United States Dollar ]. We wish to start the first transfer with
$6,000,000.00[Six million] and open successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the
remaining balance to your account. I have secretly discussed this matter
with the general manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a
smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account
which you are going to nominate.
On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the
foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any
viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy. In view of this, I
got your contact through my personal search to see if you can assist by
providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person
who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal account.
At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will
give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and
in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses
both parties might incure during the transfer process. Upon the receipt of
your reply, I will send to you a detailed information about the
transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is
100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as all
modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days,
after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail or you can call me
.You should also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy and
safe communication.
