Subject: Hello
Hello
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished with his whole families on 18TH JULY 2003 in KENYAN PLANE CRASH with the whole passengers aboard, his name is Dr. George W. Brumley. For further detail visit;
http://www.sptimes.com/2003/07/21/Worldandnation/12_Americans_die_in_K.shtml
I ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money.
I am Mr. Johnson Dick, I’m an Auditor in a well-known bank, here in South Africa, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1999 by Dr. George W. Brimley and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account again. I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Dr. George W. Brimley died in plane crash with his families.
This sum of [26,500.000 USD] has been floating as unclaimed since 2003 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here, without valid international foreign passport or driver’s license. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business now and in future. However, we will sign a binding agreement to bind us together in this business.
Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I am assuring you that the business is risk free involvement and at conclusion of this transaction the bank official will destroy all documents of the transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence. Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose.
The sharing of the funds will be based according to agreement within me and you. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict.
Best Regards,
Mr. Johnson Dick.
