The There is an account opened in this bank in 1980, but since the Death of the account owner ( Mr. Eshed.B.Willey ), no surviving beneficiary has come forth to claim this fund.

S A) where the late account owner who was a foreigner worked as a miner/geologist have no knowledge of the existence of this account or about the fund involved is USD 52M ( Fifty Two Million Dollars) Only.
As the money is in US Dollars account and can only be approved to a foreigner with some required information as the next of the kin, I am contacting you to establish a relationship and possible transfer of this money into your nominated bank account outside South Africa. Also, everything concerning the payment and transfer of this fund would be done legally with all the necessary documentation work for the process and submitted to the bank to enable the payment into You’re nominated bank account.

In order to assist me realize this golden opportunity, 20% of the total sum will be earmarked as your share do to your effort, while 5% shall be set aside for any incidental expenses which may occur in the eventual payment and transfer of this fund.
Please indicate your willingness to assist me with this transaction by a return Email: pedronkosi02@yahoo.com.
