My Dear Friend,
I am Mr Samuel Nkosi, Senior Credit Officer, New Capitec Bank Ltd in
South Africa. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will
be
of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $12.5 million
United States Dollars(Twelve Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars)in an ascrow account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
(Late Mr. Morris Thompson)An American who unfortunately lost his life in the
plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife and only daughter. You can read more
about the crash on visiting this website.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because the
Bank cannot release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only
daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided
to do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin
or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and subsequent
disbursement.
This is because nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
We agreed that 30% of this money would be for you as a foreign partner,
while the balance will be for my colleagues and I. We will visit your
country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me as
trust is our watchword in this transaction.Also note that this transaction
is confidential and risk free that i can assure you.
As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me by return mail
whether or not you are willing to enter into this deal. In the event you are
not
interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no
one about it. I am very careful on truncating my banking career should you
mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in this regard.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you has been aaranged and finalized.We will discuss much in
details when I do receive your response.
Please in your response include your telephone and fax numbers for a
better communication between us
You can reach me on this email for now or my private emails as above
Best regards,
Samuel Nkosi
