Attn: Sir/Madam.
I am DR.PAUL NGEMA. Provincial Director Standard Bank of South Africa,
Johannesburg Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6, 2005, a foreign Oil consultant/contractor
with the South Africa Mining Corporation, Mr. Richard Moses made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00
(Twenty Million United States Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the South Africa Mining Corporation that Mr.
Richard Moses died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I
found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Richard Moses did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million United States Dollars) is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to South Africa Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Richard Moses so that the fruits of this old man's
labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This
is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the service of Attorney for drafting and notarization of the
WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any
part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate the transfer
of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid
into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for
you.
There is no risk at all, as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality,
and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email.
Thanks and regards.
DR.PAUL NGEMA.
PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR
STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA
