Dear Friend,

I am reaching you with the initial concern that you may find this letter as a great surprise, however, the circumstances of my situation and the need for me to propose an urgent business transaction to you as a stranger has overshadowed my own very concern that you are a total stranger and the security of the information I am imparting to you is not guaranteed.

By way of introduction, my name is Mr. Robert Mungulu, I am a banker with a South African commercial bank of repute. Professionally, I am an economist and also an assets manager in one of the major branches of my bank, working in concert with another colleague of mine, who is in the Audit department of the same branch, where I am presently employed in Cape Town.

My reason for reaching you in this manner is due to the fact that, we are in urgent need of finding a foreign counterpart, who would be willing to assist us in securing a certain sum of money off-shore,which money shall emanate from our bank in South Africa, via wire transfer to any bank account designated by the consenting party,outside the shores of South Africa.

The money which we are seeking to transfer off-shore originates from a fixed deposit, U.S.$ account totalling the sum of (US$15.6M) belonging to a deceased client of our bank, who did not record / document any next of kin or heir prior to his demise. This has given rise to our bank putting the available funds in a suspense account, pending when we receive a proper and verifiable claim for the money.

During our most recent routine internal auditing procedure, myself and my senior colleague, who is also an auditor, discovered that the certain amount of foreign exchange in question, had been deposited with our bank for more than 7 years and for the past 3 years there had been no fixed deposit roll over instructions from our client prompting us to set up a suspense account, where the money is presently being held, to avoid other colleagues of ours from stumbling on the same discovery we had made.

Our banking regulations stipulates that, as soon as there is a bona-fide & verifiable claim, filed for such funds, either by a heir,assign or next of kin, and as long as all bank and statutory charges are taken care of, the onus lies on the departmental head of the relevant section of the bank to release such money to the recorded beneficiary in order for the account to stop being operational.

OUR PROPOSAL

Our proposal is for you to front as the final beneficiary for the available funds to be wired offshore to any bank account you nominate.Our assurance to you is this, we have all the relevant details & documentation to make the above possible, we are well positioned to facilitate the proposed transfer to your bank account, with the provision that, we shall split the proceeds accordingly, depending on the terms of our negotiations.

Therefore, to progress the proposed deal, that is if you are interested, we should be most grateful if you could contact us via this medium:robertmungulu@yahoo.com.

Do remember when replying to include your telephone and fax numbers.As we shall explain in detail to you when we hear from you, please treat this matter as strictly confidential.

Best regards,
R.Mungulu.
