Dear Confidant,

Greetings,

This mail may come to you as a surprise but I plead with you to patiently read through it before making a decision whether to assist me or not. I am Mr. Tony Botha
( FCAA) the chief accountant of Africa Development Bank (ADB). I am making this contact with you base on the need of an individual/company who may be willing to assist us in the transfer of some huge sum of money into a foreign bank account.
First and foremost, I apologize using this medium to reach you for a transaction of this magnitude but this is due to confidential purpose and prompt access reposed on this medium. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction with kind care and sincerity. I have decided to solicit your assistance in executing the transaction describe under; which I believe will be of benefit to both parties if treated with utmost trust and confidentiality that it deserve.

A fixed deposit account was opened in my bank in 1999 by one of our main customer (Mr. Smith B. Andrea) who was a foreigner, a miner at Kruger Gold Company, and a Geologist by profession, the length of time for the maturity of the fixed deposit was six years, which expired towards the ending of last year. Upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to his forwarding address but got no reply.

After a month, a reminder was also sent and finally we discovered from his Contract employers - The South African Mining Corporation that the Depositor died since 2000. On further investigation, I found out that the depositor/beneficiary actually died in a plane crash, in May 2000 and he left nobody as next-of-kin to claim this money. All efforts made to trace any known relations of his proved abortive, and no one has written our bank in this regard.

Hence, this said money is still lying in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. Now it’s clear no one will ever come forward to claim it. And according to the Laws of the Republic of South Africa, the money will revert to the ownership of The South African Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

All modalities for the successful transfer of this money into an offshore bank account have been put in place and we are looking for a trust worthy foreign partner into whose bank account this fund would be remitted to and in this regard my colleague has mandated me to provide a partner who will assist us. The amount involve is Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$20,500,00Million). We have agreed to compensate you with 25% of the total amount if you should accept to assist us.

If you are interested in giving us the required assistance, kindly reply this email stating your Telephone/Fax numbers for further action. Because of the secrecy surrounding this transaction, I suggest that you contact me only through the above e-mail, until further notice.I am looking forward to a favorable reply from you soon.

Feel free to ask any question in this regard.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Tony Botha
