Subject: RE-Navarro
FROM: BARRISTER ALEXANDRA KHUMALO
TEL: +27-83-594-4835
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTN: Navarro
PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS OF MUTUAL BENEFIT
It is my privilege to capture your names from the internet. My name is Barr.
Alexandra Khumalo a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr.
Adams Navarro , a national of your country who died along with his wife and
his Two sons in a ghastly motor accident along Beyers Naude Drive by N1
express in August 13, 2002.All the occupants in the vehicle lost their
lives.
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My
client was a successful and am accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries
through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this
exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress
was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an Gold
magnet here in South Africa and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million,
Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollar ($12,200,000.00usd) in his
domiciliary bank account in a commercial bank here in South Africa.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to
provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit
the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to
invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after
the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your
name, to my utmost amazement, you are nationals of the same country.
Convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that you might
provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided to contact you with these
facts before me because of the situation now. By virtue of my closeness to
the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client
financial standing and the bank account he operates.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be
paid the funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your
consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at
an advantage as nationals from the same country, so that the proceeds of
this Bank Account valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be
for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the
necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim .All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me by email or on above telephone to enable us
discuss further.
Best Regards
Barr. Alexandra Khumalo
