Dearest,
I am Mr. Michael Kalis Esq. my client is one of the top Managers of Investec
Bank of South Africa Johannesburg Branch, he and his colleague in the same
bank have an urgent/interesting and very confidential business proposition
for you. Basically on June 6th, 2001, a Chinese business man by name Mr.
Chow Liu, deposited in his personal safety deposit vault currency valued at
$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in
my client's branch.
Upon expiration of the period of leasehold of his safety deposit vault Two
years ago, my client sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply, some months later a reminder was sent and finally it was
discovered he had passed away, on further investigation it was discovered
that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were
fruitless. Further investigation revealed that Mr. Chow Liu did not declare
any next of kin in all his official documents in my client bank.
This sum of 10,500,000.00 is still in the Vault, which was opened, and the
keys changed upon the expiration of the period of leasehold by my clients.
Consequently, my proposal is that my clients will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Chow Liu. This is simple, I would like
you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that by
virtue of my position as an attorney I will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. I shall do
the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the shipment of the
funds through a courier company to you or through bank wire transfer as
would be advised by you.
The ratio for sharing the funds will be 70% for my client and me while 30%
will be for you, I do hope that this will be okay with you. However I want
to reassure you that there will be no risk at all as I will secure all the
paperwork for this transaction as an attorney, more over with the position
of my client as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my
more private email (michaelkalis@hotmail.com) with the following:
(1) Your names in full (2) Office or residential address (3) Private
telephone and fax numbers (4) Copy of your international passport or drivers
licenses. If on the other hand you are not interested please disregard this
mail and I will not contact you again.
Upon your response I shall then provide you with my contact numbers for more
details of the transaction and the relevant documents that will help you
understand the whole process. Please observe utmost confidentiality and be
rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable to every one of
us.
Best regards,
Mr. Michael Kalis. Esq.
