DEAR FRIEND,
ACCEPT MY APOLOGY IF THIS LETTER COMES TO YOU AS A
SUPRISE SINCE WE DO
NOT KNOW EACH OTHER PHYSICALLY BEFORE NOW.BUT FOR THE
PURPOSE OF
INTRODUCTION MY NAME IS ANTHONY GOZIA THAMBO,AND I AM
THE FOREIGN
ACCOUNTS MANAGER OF AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA
(ABSA).
THERE IS AN ACCOUNT WHICH WAS OPENED IN THIS BANK IN
1980 AND MANAGED
BY ME,BUT SINCE THE DEATH OF THE ACCOUNT OWNER MR
ANDREAS.B. SMITH, NO
BENEFICIARY HAS COME FORTH TO CLAIM THIS FUND. AFTER
GOING THROUGH
SOME OLD FILES WITHIN THE BANK I DISCOVERED THAT IF
THIS MONEY IS NOT
REMITTED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY IMMIDIATELY, IT WILL BE
FORFEITED FOR
NOTHING OR DESCRIBED AS A "RETIRED ACCOUNT' BY THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE BANK. WHO WILL ACTUALLY BE USING THIS MONEY IN
ENRICHING A FEW
ALREADY OVER-RICH BANK OWNERS.
ON FUTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT EVEN THE
COMPANY (KRUGER
GOLD CO.) WHERE THE LATE ACCOUNT OWNER WHO WAS A
FOREIGNER WORKED AS A
MINER/GEOLOGIST HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXISTENCE OF
THIS ACCOUNT OR
ABOUT THE FUND INVOLVED 12.2 MILLION US DOLLARS(TWELVE
MILLION TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS). AS THE MONEY
IS IN FOREIGN
DENOMINATED (DOMICILIARRY) ACCOUNT AND CAN ONLY BE
APPROVED TO A
FOREIGNER WITH SOME REQUIRED INFORMATION AS THE NEXT
OF KIN, I AM
CONTACTING YOU TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP AND THE
TRANSFER OF THIS
MONEY INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT OUTSIDE SOUTH
AFRICA.
ALSO EVERYTHING CONCERNING THE PAYMENT AND TRANSFER OF
THIS MONEY WILL
BE DONE LEGALLY WITH ALL THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK
PROCESSED AND
SUBMITTED TO THE BANK TO ENABLE THE PAYMENT INTO YOUR
NOMINATED BANK
ACCOUNT. IT IS VERY ESSENTIAL THAT I HAVE YOUR FULL
COOPERATION AND
UNDIVIDED COMMITMENT TO MAKE THIS NOBLE TRANSACTION
SUCESSFUL AS THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK IS PREPARED TO APPROVE THE
REMITTANCE OF THIS
MONEY TO ANY FOREIGNER WITH THE NECESSARY PROOF OF
KINSHIP (WISH I
WILL FURNISH YOU WITH) AS THE BENEFICIARY.
IN ORDER TO ASSIST ME SO THAT WE CAN BOTH REALIZE THIS
GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY WE NEED TO COOPERATE CLOSELY.TO THIS END
25% OF THE TOTAL
SUM WILL BE EARMARKED AS YOUR SHARE WHILE 10% WILL BE
SET ASIDE FROM
THE TOTAL SUM FOR ANY INCIDENTAL EXPENSES WHICH MAY
OCCUR IN THE
EVENTUAL PAYMENT AND TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR
ACCOUNT.PLEASE
INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS
TRANSACTION BY
CALLING ME ON THE ABOVE PHONE NUMBER 27 83 331 5110.
DUE TO MY
SENSITIVE POSITION WITHIN THE BANK, LET US KEEP THIS
TRANSACTION IN
STRICT CONFIDENCE.AND BE REST ASSURED THAT THIS
BUSINESS IS 100% RISK
FREE.

BEST REGARDS,

ANTHONY GOZIA THAMBO.
