Dear Sir/Madam,

How are you today, I hope that all is well with you?. My name is Mr.Akim Pat, I am the operational manager in account management section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished in crash of Swissair Flight 111 with the 215 passengers on September 8, 1998. There is an account opened in this bank since 1991 by this great late INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account. Since his death, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of his company.

The total amount involved is 116,000,000.00 USD.[One Hundred and Sixteen Million United States Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with $16,000,000.00 [Sixteen Million] and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account. I have secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account, which you are going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be ransferred it can be an empty account provided it is still active as no one has come up to be the next of kin.

The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay for too long without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of dormancy. In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her account. At the conclussion of the transfer 60% of the fund will be for me, I will give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 5% for charity both in Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process. Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you detailed information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer
can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.

When you receive this letter, kindly get back to me for more informations about this business.I will wait to hear from you soon and always reply me with the email below.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Mr. Akim Pat, I am the operational manager in account management
section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here
in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank
who perished with his whole families on 3rd January, 2004 in EGYPTIAN PLANE
CRASH with the whole passengers aboard.

There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the
account. Since his death, I personally has watched with keen interest to see
the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning
it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the
manager of his company.

The total amount involved is 116,000,000.00 USD.[One Hundred and Sixteen
Million United States Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with
$16,000,000.00 [Sixteen Million] and upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the
remaining balance to your account.

I have secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the bank
who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of
the fund to any foreign bank account, which you are going to nominate. On
this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the
foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be ransferred for immediate investment on any
viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.The banking
ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than Three years without
claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of dormancy.

In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you
can assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a
reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her
account. At the conclussion of the transfer 60% of the fund will be for me,
I will give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 5% for charity both in Africa
and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle
expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you detailed information
about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9
banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased.

When you receive this letter, kindly get back to me. I will wait to hear
from you soon.

Respectfully yours,
Akim Pat
