All,

I have been contacted by a poor unfortunate rich person in Africa.
I have the opportunity to be altruistic and make loads of money at the same
time.

Should I respond?

Marty

Subject: REQUEST FROM BANK


ATTENTION

FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT.
SAFEX BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA
NORTHERN PROVINCE
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the foreign Remittance Department
of SAFEX BANK I got your email adress while searching for trustworthy
cuontries and individuals.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of
$12m US dollars. In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who diedalong with his entire family in september 11 plane crash. 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 relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation die! d alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to
make this businness 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 we 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 four years, the money
will be !
 transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of
foreigner as next of kin in his business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and a South African cannot stand as next of kin to
a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you foreign
partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,10 % will be set
aside for expense! s incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me
and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country
for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable
the immediate transfer of this fund to you asarranged, you must apply first
to the bank as of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number,your private telephone and fax number for easy and communication and
location where in the money will be remitted . Upon receipt of your reply, I
will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I wi!
 ll not fail to bring
to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any a tom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for
the transfer .
Your's faithfully
Dr Ken Okadigbo
Bill and exchange managing Director,
Safex Bank,
South Africa
