I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
late
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this
deposit valued at 15.million dollars is lodged.
This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the Account
will be
confiscated because there is a government gazzette/mandate/authorising all
banks to
freeze or confiscate any account that has not been serviceable in a long
period of
time, this is geared towards capital flight for the economy.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
Next-of-kin and
beneficiary of my named client, so that the proceeds Of this account can be
paid to
you.
Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal
documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any
breach of the law.
I am compensating you with 15 % of the total money amount, now all my hope
is
banked on you and I really wants to invest my own share of this money in
your
country, were there is stability of Government, political and economic
welfare.
If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology
but if
not, then contact me at once to indicate your interest, all I needed from
you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars:Your Account name, Your Account
number,Your
Bank address, telephone and fax number and your address so that I can give
them the
bank for them to transfer this money into your account.
When the money is transfered into your account I will then come over to
your country for the sharing and to invest my own share of the money in a
good
bussiness in your country.
Please you are advised to reply me througth my alternative email address
which is
(**emefarms@tsamail.co.za*<http://fr.mc282.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=emefarms@tsamail.co.za>
