Attention:
RE: TRANSFER OF US$113,000,000.00 [One Hundred and Thirteen Million United States Dollars Only].
My name is Stephen Smith; I am the operational manager in account management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by this great late diamond and oil magnet that died with his family on the 18th day of July 2003 on a Fatal Auto-Accident leaving no beneficiary to the account and no other person knows about this account. Since his death I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $113,000.000.00 USD. [One Hundred and Thirteen Million United States Dollar Only] We wish to start the first transfer with $13,000.000.00 [Thirteen Million] and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side; we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account, which you are going to nominate for the transfer. On this note, I want you to act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing your bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 6 years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of dormancy.
At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you detailed information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me e-mail or you can fax me. You should also include your private fax and phone numbers for easy and safe communication.
