                    ( CONFIDENTIAL MATTER )
Dear  Sir,
 
I am MR. JOHN BHENGU, the Manager of Bills/Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of one of the leading banks in South Africa (A.B.S.A). I got your contact address from your country's Trade Journal. Your impressive and managerial records made me to solicit for your partnership in these regards.
 
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1997, a British Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the NATIONAL PETROLUEM CO-OPORATION DR.GREIG SMITH Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at US$21,320,000.00  (Twenty One Million Three hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity in 2000, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
 
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the National petroleum corporation that DR.GREIG SMITH died of auto crash during one of his trips to his country Britain, On further investigation. I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that,DR.GREIG SMITH. Did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
 
This sum of US$21,320,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2002 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones. According to the banking law at the expiration of 10(TEN) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the federal Government if nobody applies to claim the fund at the end of financial year of 2007. Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I are assuring you that the business is 100% risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose as I will leave my country by the end of the year.
 
The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement between {both of us} that is, me and you. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
