Subject: URGENT OPERATON
FROM: MR. Gibson Moyo
Dear Sir,
I hope that you are well today. I am the director of logistics and securities with a SECURITY COMPANY here in SOUTH AFRICA. With due respect, I decided
To contact you over this business financial transaction worth the sum of Thirty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($32.5m) in other to entrust this fund into your bank account. This belongs to one of our customers, ANDREAS SCHRANNER (German) who died along with His entire family on 25th, July 2000 in a plane crash disaster. I was very fortune to meet the deceased file when I was arranging the old and abandoned customer's files of 2000-2004 in other to submit to the management accordingly for documentation purposes. Following our security company's policy, it was obviously indicated that if such consignments remains Unclaimed after 3 (three) years without somebody been a Foreigner apply and claim the consignment as the next of kin, the consignment will be transferred into the security Treasury as unclaimed. This will cause other staff of my company to notice what is contained in the box. So the request of you as a foreigner is necessarily needed for the claim because a citizen of South Africa cannot come forward to claim the consignment since the law does not pave
a way for an indigene to claim such. Since the real beneficiary of the fund died, my company is expecting the next of kin to apply for the release of the consignment for him or her without delay but unfortunately I learnt through the investigations which I carried out that there is nobody behind who can come and claim the consignment. I need you to act fast so that we do not loose this once- in-a-life-time- opportunity. You shall provide me with your details so that the lawyer who is assisting me can go to the court and raise an Affidavit of fact, that you are the beneficiary of this consignment in order for us to move it to the bank where it will be comfortable for you to claim. FOURTY FIVE PERCENT (45%) of the total fund will be for me. FOURTY FIVE PERCENT (45%) for you for all your efforts, TEN PERCENT (10%) will be for unexpected expenses, which
May occur during the process. Thereafter you will help me to visit your country for sharing the money according to the percentage indicated above. For the immediate transfer of this fund into your bank account as arranged, Please note that you should keep this business secret until you confirm the transfer into the bank account which you will provide. And there is NO RISK in this business. All necessary documents related to this and which will prove that you made a legal claim of inheritance shall be provided. Please view details of the plane crash on the website below.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm: it is true that I prayed before I was pushed forward to contact you for this business but I want you to also assure me solemnly that you are a trustworthy, reliable, honest and capable to avoid cheating me in this business, If you are really sure of your integrity, reply me for my Alternative mailbox:(Gibson_moyo@homail.comTEL+27728003007/FAX+27866687687) immediately, for more detailed information.
Yours faithfully
Mr. Gibson Moyo.
