Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Fredrick Mende, Provincial Director Standard Bank of South
Africa,Johannesburg Branch. I have urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.On June 6, 1999, a foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the South
AfricaMining Corporation, Mr. Richard Moss made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,500,000.00
(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand 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 Moss 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
Moss did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$12,500,000.00 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 Moss 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 two Attorneys 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 .
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
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Fredrick Mende.
