Hello Sir,


My name is Mr. Peter Buthelezi. I work as a senior investment consultant for a bank here in South Africa. I also work as part of the regional team that covers the entire African region.

I had taken pains to find your contact through personal endeavor.

Approximately five years ago, an investor Deceased nine months invested a total of US$14.777M (Fourteen Million, Seven Hundred & Seventy-Seven Thousand United State Dollars) with my department. With interest at today’s value, the said invested fund is now worth US$21.7M (Twenty-One Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).



Late investor Attorney/Lawyer notified my department of the sudden death (Car Accident), He (the attorney) also expresses concern that investor had died without a will and he has no details of any surviving relatives. The lawyer has now requested my department to check our records to clarify who Late investor may have named as his next of Kin on the investment application. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, the person named as next of kin, was his girl friend who also died in the car accident. I have not yet notified the lawyer that the next of Kin was the girl friend. I virtually have another 21 working days to do so.



Should I notify the lawyer of my findings, automatically, the invested funds will be confiscated by the South Africa Government? This I do not mind, my concerns and worries is that the funds once released from our bank, it will be diverted else where by senior South Africa government functionaries for their personal gains. On the basis of my worries, my immediate boss and I decided to act fast by contacting and inviting you to work with us posing as a relative of the deceased, since you share same last name as the late investor. With our insider’s privileged information, the funds can be paid to you as the only surviving relative. We have all the information and guidance to enable you and we realize this opportunity. We have evaluated the risk analysis and we are convinced that there is no risk element, as long as we both maintain strict confidentiality.




As you should understand, I am taking a great risk contacting you and making this proposal. Therefore, you should understand why I must say no more about this transaction until I receive an email from you confirming receipt of this letter.




Once secured communication has been established between you and us, detailed clarifications will be dealt with, such as what each party stand to benefit and time scale and procedures also the full details of the investor will be provided to you. Time is not in our favor. Please establish secured communication with me through this email address..



Yours truly

Mr. Peter Buthelezi.
