Since then I have made several enquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you for your assistance. I contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged
with the ABSA BANK SOUTH AFRICA. This is the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about $USD15.5 million Dollars.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are not his relative so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $USD15.5 million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share
the money. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any
foreign account because the money is in United States Dollars and the former
owner Mr. Morris Thomson is a foreigner too.
However, I would like to add here that upon your acceptance to assist me in
this deal, You will be rewarded with 35% of the total sum for your honest
assistance and co-operation, 5% for any expenses that may come up during the
transfer while 60% remain for me. I intend to affect the transfer within a
few days from the date of receipt of the following information from you:
1) Your full names,
2) Company name,
3) Address,
4) Telephone and fax numbers.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me to enable us discuss further and send me your
fax and telephone number to me.
Best Regards,
Mr. William Ngobeni.
NOTE: Please contact me by fax for security reasons.
