Subject: Your Urgent Reply To This Offer!!
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Compliments of the day. My mail may seem a little surprising for a person that you do not know too well, but the inspiration to contact you is simply of divine providence. I have contacted you because I seek your partnership and understanding to realize this project which i am about to explain with you.
My name is Dr. Daniel Mokoena and I work with a BANK here in South Africa. Some years ago I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin, Germany where I met a German based business man, Mr. Christian Eich, we discussed about his intentions to invest in South Africa. Then some months later he came to South Africa where I assisted him, to make a Fixed Deposit of (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) USD15, 500,000.00 for six months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity of the first six months, my bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address, to confirm if he wanted to continue rolling it over duration but we got no response from him. After another six months, we sent another reminder to know if he wanted our Bank to continue rolling over the interest, but we still did not get any
Response from him. I had to make personal efforts to reach him, since I was his
Portfolio Manager that personally guided him through to make this deposit and surprisingly I discovered that the client was aboard the German Concorde Air Flight which crashed on Monday 31 July 2000, killing all passengers on board and including his wife Andrea and only two children. Please click the below website to find out:

After years of investigations, all attempts to trace any relatives to him proved fruitless, as it was discovered that the depositor (Mr. Christian) did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents. Since then, the money has been in my bank dormant and nobody has come to make claims and I believe 'NO ONE' will ever come forward to make claims, since the entire family was eventually wiped out. I have made
efforts to locate a member of his family with strong biological links to my late client without success. The search to find a close relation is one that has consumed time and resources. In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution here, at the expiration of Seven (7) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if it remains dormant, or the owners of the bank may wipe it off their records for their own benefits, since it would be termed as floating money (free money).
My proposal is to package and present you as next of kin to the deceased client and process the fixed deposit for transfer custody to you for our mutual benefit. The transaction will be executed under normal legitimate arrangements, as I will use my position in the Bank to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. This is my field and has done a perfect home-work to ensure that we have a perfect transaction, so that you and I can benefit from this 'FREE MONEY', since it now
belongs to nobody. Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not risky and does
not require much engagement from your side since I will be taking care of the transaction in full capacity as an insider.
I will be waiting to hear from you, but please NOTE that it is very important we keep all facts and details of this transaction to ourselves alone, considering my position in the bank. I will be giving you more details when I finally come to see that we both can build up a good level of trust amongst ourselves. I will be waiting to hear from you soon as
time is of the essence. Do send me your telephone and fax numbers for an easy
and effective communication.
Best regards,
Dr. Daniel Mokoena
