Subject: Greetings From James Kings.
Greetings From James Kings.
I write to seek your consent in a private and confidential matter regarding some funds unaccounted for in my bank here in South Africa during the last 2006 business year. I need assistance from a trustworthy and reliable person whom I will fill in as the beneficiary. Your major role would be to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money and get 20% of the total funds as commission. There are practically no risks involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account under few working days.
I am Mr.James Kings, the regional manager of AFRICA CONTINENTAL BANK (AFCB), and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with two lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send in financial report to my head office in the capital city Johannesburg at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2006 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made eight million eight hundred and fifty thousand united state dollars ($5,850,000.00) which my head office is not aware of and will never be aware of. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary and as an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, hence i contacted you.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this transaction. At this juncture, I wish to tell you what prompted me to package this deal. I have a 12-year old daughter who has Cancer, cancer of the bone, and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this transplanting to be done in any good childrens hospital in your country if there is one. Once this fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign from my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country. I would be grateful if you would help me invest my own part of the money in a very profitable business. I have worked for this bank for the past 20 years yet I have nothing to show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as soon as possible.
I suggest you give me your private tel:no and fax:no for easy communication stating your abilities in this deal.As soon as you receive this message if you think we can work together so that we can go over the details.Thanks.
Truly yours,
Mr. Jame Kings.
