Dear friend,

My name is Mr. Christoffel Van Der Meulen, the Chief Accounting Officer, Department of Mining and Natural Resources, Republic of South Africa. I am written to solicit your cooperation in order to redeem an investment deposit of Mr. Roman Blum. The said investment now valued at US$18, 500.000.00 was originally purchase by Mr. Roman Blum and leased to the Transvaal orange mining corporation in 2005.

At maturity of this investment in September 2011, Mr. Roman Blum instructed that the principal sum US$18.5 Million be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in the Netherlands. We got in touch with a specialist Asset Management and Finance Firm who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to Mr. Romans Blum.

Surprisingly, the Asset Management and Finance Firm got in touch with me last month that this money has not been claimed. On further inquiries i found out that Mr. Roman Blum died on the 23rd day of January, 2012 without no known Next of Kin. Immediately we heard the news of the death Mr. Roman Blum, several attempts have been made without success to contact any of his close relatives in whose favour the investment cash can be paid.

Since the deceased died intestate (without no known Next of Kin), I wish to solicit your assistance to make you the beneficiary of this investment as all information’s relating to this investment has been with me as his account officer and I have exclusive access to his file until his death.

In using your name for this claim, I intend to split the proceeds 50/50 with you. The money will be forfeited to the state if not claimed hence my quest to work with you for our mutual benefit. I am still in active public service in South Africa, as such will use my privileged position to give the transaction the utmost coverage for the security of both parties.

If you are interested in working with me in this important, confidential and risk free transaction, Kindly get back to me with your Complete Names, Address, Telephone Number, Age, Occupation and Country of Origin for more information's on the procedure of this claim.

Yours faithfully,
Christoffel Van Der Meulen
