Subject: Kindly Get Back Immediately
Dear Sir/Ma
Good day to you, with warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you
in good time.
However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any
dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and the immense
benefit it will be to you.
I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity.
Please accept my apologies for contacting you through this medium, since some miscreants and
mischief-makers have taken possession of the internet to facilitate their nefarious needs hence it has
become a very hard place to trust and to believe.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Stephen Koseff, i work with
Investec Bank as the Chief Accounting Officer and General Manager of Banking, Treasury and Merchant
Banking..
I got your contact from South Africa commerce and Industry, during my discrete online search through
a web based directory while searching for a foreign partner to execute this project together.
I have concealed business suggestion for you. There is the sum of Eighteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars (US$18.5) in my bank "Investec Bank", South Africa.
There were no beneficiaries stated concerning this fund which means no one would ever come forward
to claim it. That is why I ask that we work together.
I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the beneficiary to have the sum transferred out of my bank to you. Should you be interested kindly furnish me with your following details.
{A}. YOUR FULL NAME
{B}. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
{C}. YOUR CELL PHONE/FAX NUMBER
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Stephen Koseff,
BCom CA (SA) H Dip BDP MBA,
Chief Executive Officer.
