URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Good day,
My name is MR. KENNEDY HILLS, the Chief Auditor of capitec bank of
South Africa, there is an account opened in this bank in 2000 and since
2005 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through my data
base, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would
be forfeited. The owner of this account is Mr. Andreas Bright, a foreigner
and a Miner at Kruger Gold Company. A Geologist by profession died in 2003.
No one knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and the investigation proves to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and the amount in the
account at the moment is USD$20.5M (Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars).
As the money is in United States Dollars I need a foreign partner/account
to transfer the money overseas thus I am contacting you. Please kindly
indicate and if so contact me of the above phone numbers to enable me
inform you on next step to take. I need your full co-operation to make this
transaction work because the management is ready to approve this payment to
any foreigner who has correct information on this account,
which I will give you if you indicate your interest. I hope you can be
able to handle such amount in strictly confidential because this
opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful person in
this business relationship because I donât want to make any mistake. I need
your strong assurance and confidentiality. With my position now in the
office I can transfer this money to any reliable foreign account, with
assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in
your country for sharing.
All documents regarding this transaction will be destroyed once I receive
confirmation of the money in your account thus leaving no trace to
anything. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately on
confirmation to receive this fund into your designated account with
appropriate clearance forms from the Ministries and Foreign Exchange
Departments.
At the conclusion of this business you will be given 30% of the total
amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses that we might
incur during the course of this transaction.
Finally, please if you are interested in this transaction, all I want
you to do is to send me for Easy Communication including your personal Bank
Account Details, where this money will be transfer (Your Bank Name, Bank
Address, Account Number, Account Holderâs Name, Bank Branch, Identity
Number,and Home Address).
Please Iâm looking forward to receive your immediate reply by my
alternative email [email protected] as soon as you receive this
letter.
Thanks and Best Regards.
Yours Faithfully.
MR. KENNEDY HILLS,
(CHIEF AUDITOR capitec bank of South Africa,)
