Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Dear Friend,
I am,MR. PETER LOEN,the Chief
Accountant African Development Bank South Africa.I got your address while
searching for trustworthy individuals in various countries.ln my
department,we discovered an abandoned sum of $25,5million US dollars in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died in an auto
accident with his family in South Africa.
Since we got information
about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come to our bank
and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies
for it as a next of kin or relative to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
relatives died in a plane crash leaving no relative behind to claim the
fund.It is upon this discovery that l and other officials in my department
decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you
as the next of kin or relative to the deceased for safety and
subsequentdisbursement since nobody is coming for it and we do not want
this money to go into our bank treasury as an unclaimed fund.
The
banking law and guidelines here stipulate that if such money remained
unclaimed after four years,the money will be transfered
into the bank treasury as unclaimed funds.The request for a foreigner as a
relative for this claim is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a South African cannot claim this fund as next of
kin.
We agreed that 30% of this money will go to the foreign partner
who will supply the foreign account,5% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the transaction and 65% will be for me and my
colleagues.Thereafter,l and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement of the percentages as indicated above.If you are interested
to assist in this transaction,kindly contact the writer on the above
mobile number or private e-mail address.Please this transaction is risk
free and you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for transfer.
Yours Faithfully,
MR.
PETER
LOEN |
