ATTENTION : CEO/ MANAGER

Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a relationship with you, but you will realize the need for my latter to you.As a matter of utmost urgency I want you to come to my assistance I am Mr. Beheke
Sibanda, the bill and exchange manager at the foreign remittance department in Absa Bank of South Africa.

I am in charge of the federal reserves account and auditing department, during the course of auditing some account, I discovered that a particular account has been lying dormant for some time, and
this account was used by the OFFSHORE CUSTOMER Mr. Tusk Arshard from Lebanese. I got your contact from the South Africa chambers of commerce, while searching for an honest and trust worthy person, who will assist me to implement this transfer.

l discovered the sum of Eighteen Million United States Dollars ($18, Million) belonging to a deceased customer of our bank. Who was involved in the December 25th 2003 Benin plane crash.

….
The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foreign account whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of the bank. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. Though I will furnish you the account
details and reference of the depositor ’s information for the claim as the next of kin /beneficiary of the fund while we progress on your acceptance.

As the Head of accounts in the department, I will carefully through the help of our accredited lawyer to initiate the process of transferring the money into your account by using a foreign partner like you with the hope of having the fund transferred abroad for investment on my behalf and I hope you will agree with my intention to arrange payment of the claim in your name.

I request that you let me prepare and file the claim through the help of the lawyer for the money from the Remittance Department indicating your name as the appointed beneficiary/next of kin to the fund. Finally the reason why I contacted you is that I don’t want the Government and my bank to know that I discovered such huge amount in a dormant account, hence the fund is in dollar and will not be approved in a local account here in South Africa I am willing to accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary, and we can as well go into partnership business with you, the key ward to this transaction is absolute confidential and secrecy as my life and my future depends on this money, and please do send me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communications.

Please take note that with my position here, this transaction is 100% risk free. I have agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as the beneficiary in respect of the provision of your Account and services rendered, 55% would be for me while 5% will be for expenses incured during the cause of this transaction If the money is transferred to your Account from ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA, I and my family in this transaction will proceed immediately to your country for our own share of the money.

I expect you to keep this business strictly confidential and secret as you may wish to know that I am Bank official. Be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free on both side and every arrangement to transfer this money to the Account you are going to provide have been concluded provided we maintain the
confidentiality involved. Contact me on my email address by behekesibanda1@yahoo.com
