I am John Kabia, Bank Manager of United Bank For Africa , capetown Branch. I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6 1999,
a gold merchant/contractor with the Randgold Exploration Company, Mr. Jim Smith
made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, 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, Randgold Exploration company Ltd that Mr. Jim Smith died from an
automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Jim Smith did not declare any
next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will come forward to claim it. According to the South African Law, at
the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
South African Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as
the next of kin to Mr. Jim Smith so that the fruits of this old man�s labour
will not get into the hands of some corrupt officials. This is simple, I will
like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the
attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which will put you
in place as the next of kin. I would also like you to scan you drivers license
for me.
We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of
the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.A bank account in any
part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this
money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as
the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via email.
Thanks and regards,
John Kabia
