Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr.Jared Biyiki, bank manager of a Reputable bank in Johannesburg,
Gauteng Province, Republic of South Africa. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. My client Mr.Moritz Chadwell a
Scottish business man, resident here in South Africa made a numbered fixed
deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of $10,000,000.00 (Ten Million
Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding adresses but got no reply. Upon maturity several notices were
sent to him, even in the first quarter of this year. Again another
notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found
out that him,two of his kids and his wife died in a tragic car accident on
their way to a vacation in Durban South Africa.
And he Mr.Moritz Chadwell did not declare any next of kin in his official
transaction documents including the paper work of his bank deposits. And he
also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me
knew of his deposit in my bank, the depositor did not declare any next of
kin or relations in all his official documents, US$10,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Republic of South Africa, at the
expiration of 5(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
South African Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently,
my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as THE NEXT
OF KIN to the depositor so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that we can prepare the Necessary documents and affidavits that
will put you in place as the next of kin. A bank account in any part of the
world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money
to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me 30% for you and 5% will
be mapped out for any expenses that will be incured by both parties . There
is no risk at all as all the paper work and documentation for this
transaction is in place and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication pourposes. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us, and I
shall require your kind assistance to invest my share of this money in your
country.

MR.JARED BIYIKI.
