Subject: your kind assistance
Good Day
I am James Gono .A credit officer with South Africa Reserve Bank.
I have presently been transferred to our affiliate bank in the Netherlands to monitor the transfer.
and safe keeping of our late customers funds Mr. Kurt Kahle.
I got your information while browsing through internet in search of a reliable person
who will assist me. On 21st of July 1998, an Oil consultant/contractor,
Mr. Kurt Kahle. with DUTCH PETROLEUM COMPANY, he made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued atUS$10,700,000.00(Ten Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars) with SOUTH AFRICA RESERVE BANK ,upon maturity.
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his Private Business School. Employers that
on the 31st of July 2000, our client, with his 37-year-old wife and his son Mike, aged eight.
Died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise,
with other passengers abroad as you can confirm it yourself via the website below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
on further investigation, I found out that he died without making a will, and attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Kurt Kahle did not declare any next of kin
or relations in all his official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork in SOUTH AFRICA RESERVE BANK.
This sum of US$20,700,000.00 is still in SOUTH AFRICA RESERVE 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 the law of the country, at the expiration of (eight) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the SOUTH AFRICA Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle
so that the fruit of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full name and address so that the Attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle.
We shall employ the service of attorney for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
Any 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 ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all;he attorney and my position will do the paperwork for this transaction as the Branch Manager
successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please guarantee the reply immediately via my private email address,jamesgono2k@aim.com,upon your response
shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Please upon the receip
t of this mail message, send me the following information to my private email address,to enable start the
processing of documentation in your favor as the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle .
