YANL: “URGENT FUND TRANSFER …”

---

Now from South/Africa comes the latest letter to no one in particular, just” Sir / Madam”, trying to set the hook for those in Atlanta or South Africa.

It might as well read, “Any suckers out there wishing to answer this?”

They’ll probably find a few. The fact that they are still doing it means they are still catching a few unaware or otherwise challenged fishes.

We hope that a searchable array of such letters displayed here and on some of the other websites linked below will catch a few before they unwisely answer. Even only one today will do just fine.

FROM THE DESK OF
DR.SIPHO MANDELA
BILL AND EXCHANGE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
ABSA BANKLIMITED,
P.0.Box 6005, Johannesburg 2001,
South/ Africa.

Attention Sir / Madam,

I am the director of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
Department of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA). I am writing to
seek your cooperation over this business deal. In my department, I
discovered an abandoned sum of (US$27,000,000.00) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that took
place in Kenya, The account belongs to the Late DR.GEORGE BRUMLEY, a
citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but naturalized in South
Africa and contractor with Anglo Gold.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot
be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business
associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but
unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. You can read
more about the crash on visiting this site;

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html

It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you and release the money to your account as the next
of kin or business associate.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remains
dormant after four years; the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.

The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I
agreed that 35% of this money would be for you as foreign partner, while
60% will be for me, and 5% will be for any expenses incurred for the both party.

Please note that I don’t have any asses to withdraw any cent from this
money due to that the money was insured by the owner DR.GEORGE BRUMLEY.
Please note that this transaction needs an absolutely trust and
confidential. Please reply to my private email address: sipho_mandela@yahoo.co.uk

Best Regards,
DR.SIPHO MANDELA
