Good Day,
I am Barrister. Lekopone Diko, I have an urgent and very profitable
business proposition for
you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. SUBJECT: A
deceased Client of
mine (Names Withheld) citizen of your Country whom here in shall be
referred to as my
client, made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months
valued at US$15,
500,000.00 (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand United States
Dollars) in a bank here.
My client was a Consultant, and contractor with the South African
Solid Minerals
Corporation (SSMC).Upon maturity the bank has sent a routine
notification in accordance
with the Company policy to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month they sent
a reminder and finally it was discovered from his contract employers
South Africa, Solid
Minerals Corporation (SSMC) that My Client, his wife and two children
died in a plane
crash. On further investigation, I found out that he died without
making a Will and all
attempts to trace his next of Kin were fruitless. I therefore made
further investigations and
discovered that my client did not declare any next of Kin or Relations
in the Deposit
paperwork with the bank. No one will ever come forward to claim it and
according to the
Government Law as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), Banking Edit of
1961 at the
expiration of 9 years the money will revert to the ownership of the
Government, if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
Next of Kin and
beneficiary of my deceased client so that the proceeds of this account
valued at
US$15.5million can be paid to you, so we can share the amount on a
mutually agreed
percentage of 45% for me 45% for you and 10% for any charity
organization in your
Country. All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased
Next of Kin will be
provided by me.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to avoid making
further contacts.
Warmest Regards.
BARRISTER. LEKOPONE DIKO.
