Subject: Corporate transaction
Good Day,
Pardon the abruptness of this mail; it due to its exigency. I am mr john kabelo, Corporate Finance Manager in my local branch of Standard Bank here in South Africa. On Monday March 31st, 2003 one Mr. Robert Johnson, an American National, a consultant with a leading Conglomerate, made a deposit valued at Two Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars for twelve calendar months in my Bank branch. Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply, after a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers that Mr. Robert Johnson died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
More investigations revealed that Late Mr. Robert Johnson did not declare any next of kin or Relations in all his official documents, including his bank deposit paper work here at the bank. The total sum of 2.520 million dollars is still in my bank and No one will ever come forward to claim it. In accordance with the South African banking Laws at the expiration of three years, the fund will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Robert Johnson so that you and I can benefit from it to enhance humanitarian opportunities whenever the need arises or better still invest the money in any lucrative business in your country for our mutual benefit. The fund will be shared in the ratio of Sixty percent for me, Thirty five percent for you and five percent for any arising contingencies during the course of the transfer to your
side.
I guaranteed that this transaction would be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use my position as the Bank's corporate Finance Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of the transfer. With your maximum co-operation, it will take ten working days to conclude this transfer and please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. Please reply me immediately as time is of the essence and remember to include your private phone number for voice contact and fax number so I can provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
I look forward to your urgent response and the opportunity to give you more information on this beneficial transaction.
Best Regards.
Mr. john kabelo(ACCA)
