I am Dr James Mbeke ,the managing auditor of BARCLAYS BANK PLCJohannesburg Branch, South Africa. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. On 24 August 2004, an Iraqi Foreign Geological consultant/contractor with the ANGLOPLATINUM PTY LTD, Mr. Dara Baraz. Made a numbered time foreign account (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 2006, we 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. Dara Baraz died as a result of Auto Crash he sustained during one of his offical trip in the country On further investigation, We found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. We therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Dara Baraz did not declare any Next of kin, business Associates or relative in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US$12,200,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed fund since 2007 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives or associates have proved abortive. According to the existing banking law, at the expiration of this year, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies for the claim in this year,the fund could also be termed as'' unclaimed government liquid asset''.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 has been carefully worked- out. I have secured from the probate registry and federal office of Administration,National insurance trust fund,Tax office and corporate affairs commission and the judiciary an order of mandate to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so, I am assuring you that the transaction is RISK-FREE. You will benefit from this gesture while the rest be for me and my associates.
AND YOU SHOULD ALSO ASSIST ME IN INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE AND/OR TELECOMMUNICATION VENTURE IN YOUR DESIGNATED COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE,WHEREBY YOU WILL BE MY INVESTMENT PARTNER/MANAGER OR WE CAN FLOAT A JOINT-VENTURE ENTERPRISE.
Dear, you will get[$2.44 million] 20% of this money when the deal eventually sail through.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 AND SINCERE cooperation to enable us carry this transaction through.
