Subject: Let Me Hear From You.........
Compliments of the day
I am Nicolas Cabutti an auditor with one of the prime banks here in
South Africa. My search for a trustworthy individual/firm has led me to
you.
I came across your contact while looking for a worthwhile investments
or
projects that I can be affiliated with.
I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation
to carry out this transaction. During the course of my auditing, I
discovered an abandoned sum of US$36 million USD in an account belonging to
one of My client bank foreign customer Late Engineer Christian Eich
from Germany. Who ran a carmaker museum, until his death on the 25th
July, 2000 on board the American Flight 57, an Airbus AF4590, bound for New
York to join Caribbean cruise, crashed in Hotelissimo. Banked with my
client bank here at "First Rand bank of Sa (FRB),which the bank now
expects a next of kin to claim as beneficiary, Valuable efforts are being
made by the "Firstrand" S.A to get in touch with any of the Eich's ’s
family or
relatives but to no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate
any of Late Engr, Christian Eich's next of kin {his wife Maria,their
daughter Andrea Eich and their children Katharina and Maximilian, all
perished in the jet.
Now the management of the bank has ordered that all dormant
accounts will be frozen. On the strength of this order, I wish to make
advantage of this situation and present you as the beneficiary of this
fund and get it transferred to your designated account, if not it will
be reverted to the government account as unclaimed debt.
Please be informed that all documents relating to this transaction
will be destroyed immediately after the transfer for safety purposes.
In light
of the above, I therefore solicit your assistance to provide a
well-maintained account that can accommodate this fund.
The management is ready to welcome anybody preferably a foreigner who
has the correct information of the account, which I will give you
immediately, if you indicate your sincere willingness to handle this
project with me.
Since this development, we have advertised for his next of kin or any
close relation to come forward to claim this money, but nobody came to
apply for the claim.
This business is 100% risk free and safe.We have agreed that 30% of the
money will be for you for your assistance in this transaction; while
10% has been mapped out for expenses that will be incurred on both sides
in the course of this transaction and 10% will be donated to the
charity organization while 50% will be for my colleagues and me.
Please include your phone number and fax number for oral communication.
Once I receive your reply, I will send you the necessary documents
covering this transaction.
Respectfully yours,
Nicolas Cabutti.
