Opportunity
I am Mr.Fambo Edward, a banker who works with a bank in South Africa. I am
the account officer to a foreigner who is a Citizen of your Country; he
worked for the Petrochemical Support Services Company of South Africa.
My client was involved in a motor accident on the 16th of January 2002 and
later that same day he died.
Since his death, non of his family members have made contacts with our bank
to claim his deposited amount of money security shares, this prompted me to
make several inquiries with your country's Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, but all proved unsuccessful.
I have also visited your Country in search of his relatives early this year
but still could not locate any.
After my several unsuccessful attempts, and with the fact that the bank
cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as
the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
I have decided to take this opportunity with you and work towards the
release of the total amount into your account as the nominated next-of-kin.
And its accrued interest, will be paid to your nominated.
You are expected to give me 60% cut of the transferred sum in good faith and
also assist me in investing some of my share in a lucrative business in your
country.
I intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of
recycling part of the fund. To commence this transaction,
I require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and
enclose your private contact telephone number, fax number full name and
address to enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments
for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
I await your urgent response.
Mr.Fambo Edward
