Dear Sir,
My name is Dr.Chukwuma Emeka,I am the operational manager in account
management section incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the
prime banks here in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign
customer of my bank who perished with his whole families on 25TH JULY,2000
CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF4590 ] with the whole passengers aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral WILL attatched to the
account. Since his death , I personally has watched with keen interest to see
the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim
his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it,the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was
the manager of his company. The total amount involved is 106,000,000.00
USD.[ One hundred and six million United States Dollar ]. We wish to
start the first transfer with $6,000,000.00[Six million] and open
successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall
re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account. I have
secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the bank who I
must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the
fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to nominate. On this
note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the
foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her
bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on
any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin. The
banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury
as unclaimed after this long period of domancy. In view of this I got
your contact through my personal search to see if you can assist by
providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person
who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account.At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I
will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in
Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to
settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process. Upon
the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain
any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to
9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the
fund from the deceased. When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an
e-mail You should also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy
and safe communication.
Respectfully yours,
Dr.Chukwuma Emeka
