INVITATION TO ACT AS A NEXT OF KIN OR A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE?
I am Barr. Maxwell Mfalele ,the legal/business adviser to STANDARD BANK PLC,Capetown, South Africa. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal
for you. On May 20, 2000,My client, an Irish Foreign minning consultant/contractor with the Anglo American coal corporation pty, Mr. JAMES DAVIDSON. Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar months, valued at US$12,200,000.00 (Twelve Million two hundred thousand dollars only) in this bank.
Upon maturity in 2001, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After 3 month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Mr. JAMES DAVIDSON died as a result of injuries he sustained in a SKII DIVING exercise.
On further investigation, We found out that he died INTESTATE, without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. We therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Davidson did not declare any Next of kin,Associates or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in this Bank.
This sum of US$12,200,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 2000 in this bank as all efforts to get his relatives or associates have hit the stones. According to the Existing law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim in this 2006, the fund could also be labeled laundered monies which is unlawful.
Consequently, my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the NEXT of kin or an Associate to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your desi- gnated account. All documents and Legal papers to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate registry and federal office of Administration, National insurance trust fund and corporate Tax office and the judiciary an execution order to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that the business is RISK- free. You will benefit from this gesture while the rest be for me and associates.
Dear, you stand the chance of getting 25% of this money if the deal eventually put through.
PLEASE, NOTE: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS
1. JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.
2. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN IRISH, YOU CAN BE OF ANY NATIONAL.
3. YOU CAN BE A MALE OR FEMALE.
I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of
Kin OR Business associate on your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us carry this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
AND IF YOU ARE INTERESTED REPLY TO MY EMAIL:
MY REGARDS,
Maxwell Mfalele.[Esq]
