FROM PHILIP MORSE.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA(ABSA)
JOHANNESBURG.
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Sir,
I am Philip MorseI,the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Amalgameted Bank of South Africa(ABSA)in Johannesburg in South Africa with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person(Arthur Gene Billings) who died on october 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with t
his Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before and even after our discovery.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partner to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount is US$11.5M(eleven Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dol
lars).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relaye
d to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this
bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be afte
r due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 65% will be for me an
d my partners for investments overseas and the remaining 5% will be dedicated to charity homes.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in our bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either
in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me on my confidentially phone number +27-839 955 991,as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
PHILIP MORSE.
