ATTENTION;PRESIDENT/MANAGING DIRECTOR,
I AM MR GEORGE KHUMALO, MANAGER OF BILLS/EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF ABSA BANK LIMITED.
IN MY DEPARTMENT, WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF
US$25,500,000(TWENTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND US DOLLARS(ONLY) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGED TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY ON NOVEMBER 1994 IN A GHASTLY PLANE
CRASH. SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE
HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT-OF-KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE IT UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIED FOR IT AS NEXT-OF-KIN, OR
RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING
GUIDELINES.
UNFORTUNATELY, NOBODY HAS COME FOWARD TO CLAIM THIS
MONEY.
IT IS BASED ON THIS THAT SOME OFFICIALS IN MY
DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE
DECIDED TO ESTABLISH A CORDIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU, HENCE MY CONTACTING YOU. WE WANT YOU TO PRESENT YOURSELF AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN
OR RELATION OF THE DECEASED SO THAT THE FUND CAN BE
REMITTED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.MOREOVER, WE DO NOT WANT THE MONEY TO GO INTO THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINES HERE STIPULATE THAT ANY
ACCOUNT ABANDONED OR IS DORMANT FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS IS DEEMED CLOSED AND ALL MONEY CONTAINED THEREIN FORFEITED TO THE GOVERNMENT TREASURY ACCOUNT.
NOW IT IS BEING SPECULATED THAT THE ABOVE SUM WILL BE
TRANSFERED INTO THE GORVENMENT ACCOUNT AS AN UNCLAIMED FUND ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 2003.
THE REASON FOR REQUESTING YOU TO PRESENT YOURSELF AS
NEXT-OF-KIN IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE DECEASED (CUSTOMER) WAS A FOREIGNER.THE MODE OF SHARING AFTER A SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THE
MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT: 70% TO MY COLLEAGUES AND I;
FOR THE ROLE YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO PLAY IN THIS DEAL, WE HAVE AGREED TO GIVE YOU TWENTY PERCENT (25%) OF THE TOTAL SUM, AND 5% FOR THE EXPENSES
WE ARE GOING TO ENCOUNTER BY THE TWO PARTIES AT THE
COURSE OF THIS TRANSACTION.
THEREFORE YOU ARE EXPECTED TO REPLY THIS LETTER
INDICATING YOUR READINESS AND INTEREST TO PARTICIPATTE IN THIS BUSINESS. AFTER RECEIVING YOUR REPLY, YOU WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO WITH THE EXACT STEPS TO TAKE.
I EXPECT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE EITHER BY
EMAIL OR BY PHONE: 27 73 159 2013 TO ENABLE US CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION URGENTLY.
PLEASE TREAT THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL AS STRICTLY
CONFIDENTIAL FOR SECURITY REASONS.
