Subject: YOUR KINDEST ATTENTION IS KINDLY NEEDED MY DEAR FRIEND
*CAPITEC BANK LTD.*
*ROODEPOORT BRANCH,*
*JOHANNESBURG**, SOUTH AFRICA**.*

*YOUR KINDEST ATTENTION*
* *
* *
*It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because
you do not know me but I have a lucrative business proposal of mutual
interest to share with you. I got your reference in my search for someone
who suits my proposed business relationship.*
* *
*Please I seek your permission and would want to get myself introduce to
you.*
* *
*I am Mr. Samuel Kabalo credit officer of Capitec Bank Ltd. I have a
concealed business suggestion for you.*
* *
*Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr. Hessian Hussein who was an
Iraqi Business Man and also Deals On Arms With The South African Government
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Nineteen million five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only ($19.5m) in
my branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the
war, again after the war several notifications were sent and still no
response came from him. We later found out that the Mr. Hessian Hussein and
his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their
home in Iraq.*
* *
* *
*After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hessian Hussein
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Nineteen
million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank
and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that
according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration three years the
funds will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds.*
* *
*Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hessian Hussein so that you
will be able to receive his funds.*
* *
*WHAT IS TO BE DONE?*
* *
*I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Hessians
Hussein, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide
me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his
job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate/Administration in your favor for the movement of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you.*
* *
*There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a
legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account
we shall share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% for any
expenses incurred during the course of this operation.*
* *
*Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers
for easy communication, you can write me via my private box and i will
provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to
this letter will be appreciated. Kindly send your reply to: Private Email:

*Kind Regards,*
