Foreign Remittance Dept.Amalgamented bank of South Africa (ABSA)
South Afrique,Ré°µblique de Suid Afrique
ATTN: Sir /Madame
Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a
day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My name
is MR ROBERT ZUMA, the present Director, Audit and Accounting Unit Foreign
Remittance Dept , Bank of Africa here in Johanessburg, Republic South
Africa.
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with
the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have transaction
that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
johanessburg , So that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a
fortune.
As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of 15.5 million
USD(FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) that has
not been operated on for the past 5 years.Y9 From my investigation, I found
out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big
time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life in the Yak-40jetliner on
March 9, 2000.You will read more news about the crash on visiting the
website;http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come
forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev
meaning that no one is aware of the account.
I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and
that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and
share it with me.As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to
influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the
next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the
account, which I shall give you. I am seeking your co operation to present
you as the next of kin to the account.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so as
to give you more details.
Thanking you in advance and may Almigthy God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
MR ROBERT ZUMA.
