#6 Church Road,
Independence Avenue,
Jo'burg,South Africa.
With due respect and regards.I am the chairman of a prime bank here in South
Africa and personal banker to late ENGR.AUTHOR WOODROW.Until his death he
was the owner of GRAYSTONE DIAMOND COMPANY PTY SOUTH AFRICA an industrialist
and a foreigner,hence the deceased have a floating account opened in the
bank in 1999 and before his death he has no WILL or Heir apparent to the
throne and no other one who know about this fund because after his death his
company was liquidated by the management and during my stay with him his
parents was reported died in a plan crash.
As a matter of fact this is a life given back to us to make better use of it
to assist the humanity.The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six years and it will be fortified for nothing and be used by
the top government officials to supress and subdue the poor masses in the
society.
In veiw of all this I decided to seek for a reliable and trustworthy
foreigner who shall forward an application to the bank as the next of kin so
that the fund will be approved in his or her favour.The request for a
foreigner as a next of kin in this matter is because of the fact that late
Engr.Woodrow is a foreigner and an African cannot stand as the next of Kin
to a foreigner,but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid
international passport since the former owner of the account is a foreigner
too,thus the money could only be approved into a foreign account.This is a
matter of trust and if you assure me that you will remain honest to me until
we share this fund accordingly as the bank management will wellcome any
foreigner who has information about this fund which I will give to you.
To prove the authenticity and legality of this transfer,we are going to
follow a due process of transfer for onward transfer of this money to your
account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries,foreign
exchange departments and Board of Internal Revenue Services to avoid any TAX
from your Government.I need your strong assurance that you will never let me
down.I have strong contact with top official of the ministry of finance to
ensure smooth transfer of the funds because you know that this involves a
large sum of money one person can not do transfer alone and with your full
co-operation we will achieve this opportunity.
The total amount involved is Seventeen Million Two Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars only.We will start the first transfer After this first
transfer without any let down from your side b/c you know that this
opportunity requries great trust and confidentiality as you know that no
business survives without secrecy,we will be together in your country to
transfer the remaning balance($10m)
At the conclusion of this business,you will be given 35% of the total
amount,60% will be for me and my co-partner,while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the transfer process. I look forward
to your earliest reply for further correspondence.
Regards,
Williams
