Brother,
I am Doctor. Lewis Stephen, the owner of two private Hospitals in south Africa,
I know the letter might come to you as a surprise, but take it like your own
opportunity.
There is one Mr. IMAN AJI SASMITO, from India who died of HIV/AIDS in my hospital
and his wife called me and explained to me how she was feeling too ashamed of his
husband who died of HIV that she will finally return to India, as she cannot stay
in South Africa.
She abandoned his husband and all of his documents in my hospital and left for
India I consulted the government on this problem that happened in my hospital,
the investigation from the government went through and the man was buried, over
three years now, precisely on 16th march 2002. While I was going through some
documents in my office, I came across this problem file, which took place few
years’ back. In the course this, I found he has a fixed deposit account with
First National Bank, South Africa for two years and eight months, now is over
three years. Amount Fixed worth of $15,900,000. (Fifty teen Million Nine Hundred
Thousand US Dollars).
I have called the First National Bank for confirmation of this Mr. IMAN AJI
SASMITO, (He was a Car dealer in Africa), and the amount deposited was confirmed
by the bank, that the amount is due for claims only if the next of kin is produced.
To insure transparency, you can verify the authenticity of this claim.
Meanwhile, First National Bank of South Africa is waiting for the beneficiary
to come for the claim of the Fixed sum, all effort to reach the diseased wife
with the contact numbers was abortive, I know that the wife, died also with
HIV and no person to contact as the next of kin, hence I contact you to
stand as the Next of Kin. This is highly confidential for security reasons.
Hence, it is between you and I. the man’s documents are right under my custody
with the fixed Sum: $15,900,000 Million US Dollars. Ref- number: Ra/Ph/3-9/2002.
I repeat you will act like the Next of Kin to this money; I will give you more
information about the transaction. Don’t forget to include your direct telephone/fax
number. Call me with 00 27-73-77-58-672 OR write to me with email:
dr_lewisstephen@yahoo.com , to acknowledge your email.
You are entitle to 35% percentage of the total amount, as yours.
I wait for your urgent reply.
Kind regards,
Doctor Lewis Stephen
