# 18 SILVER CRESCENT
JOHANNESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA.
Attn: Sir/Madam,
First of all let me introduce myself to you. My name is
Mr. Paul Adams, an external auditor of prime banks here
in South Africa.
Without wasting much time, let me go straight to the
point. On September 6, 1999, there was an American
Mining consultant/contractor with the South African Mining
corporation, Mr. Gregory A. Williams who made a
numbered time (fixed)deposit with my bank here in
South Africa for twelve calendar months, value US
$14,200,000.00 an account. On maturity, the bank sent
a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply from him.
After a month, the bank sent another reminder and
finally his contract employers, the South African
Mining corporation wrote to inform the bank that
Mr. Gregory A. Williams died from an automobile
accident. And he died without MAKING A WILL attached
to the account. More so, all attempts by the American
Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore, made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Gregory A. Williams in fact was an immigrant
from Jamaica and only recently obtained American
citizenship. He did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank deposit
paper work. This money total US $14,200,000.00 is
still sitting in the bank as dormant Account.
No one will ever come forward to claim it, and
according to South African banking policy, after
5years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
South African Government if the account owner is
certified dead. This is the situation, and my proposal
is that I am looking for a foreigner who will stand as
the next of kin to Mr. Gregory A. Williams and a Bank
Account abroad which will then facilitate the transfer
of this money to the beneficiary/next of kin.
This is simple, all you have to do is to immediately
send me bank account information where you know that
the Fund will be safe when the transfer take place for
me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork. An
empty account can serve provided the account is
valid. This money total USD ($14.2M) will then be paid
into the Account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me, 35% for you and 5% for expenses that might
come up during transfer process. There is no risk at
all, and all the paper work for this transaction will
be done by me using my position and connection in the
banks in South Africa.
Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address.
Thanks and god bless you and your family and
bless me too.
Have a nice day.
Yours truly.
Mr. Paul
