JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTN:Dear ,
It is my privilege to capture your name from the internet. My name is
Attorney David Bongani a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to
late Mr. Paully Ash ,a foreigner who lived and died along with his wife and
his two sons in a ghastly motor accident in August 13, 2004 in my country
here in South Africa.
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate someone
like you, My late client was a successful and an accomplished business man,
who made some fortune before their untimely death. Since then I had made
several inquiries through Embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several
unsuccessful attempts,
I Decided to try my luck through the Internet to locate any member of his
family,But no luck before i found your name and i decided to write to you to
stand for me as my late client next of kin to enable us secure the realease
of his money in the bank to your care or the money will be forfited, He left
the sum of Three Million, two Hundred and sixty eight Thousand United States
Dollar ($3,268,000.00USD) in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial
bank here in South Africa. After the death of my client his bankers
contacted me,as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit
his fortune.The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I
was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within
28 working days of notice to me or forfeit the money to the bank as an
abandoned property.
The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your
name, to my utmost amazement something keeps telling me to write you for
this,It,s not any problem even you are not of the same country,The problem
is do you documents to back up your claims which i have got with me here and
that all the bank needed to realease this fund to anyone i have presented
to them but have to be a foreigner.
Please i seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased
since you are at an advantage as a foreigner too, so that the proceeds of
this Bank Account will be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 50%
for me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your
Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents
that will be used to back up your claim.All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. Please get in touch with me by email or on above telephone
to enable us discuss further,Or due send me your private telphone number for
easy communication.
Best Regards
Attorney David Bongani.
