Diese e-mail müllte heut mal wieder mein Postfach zu. Nach längerer Pause hat wieder jemand, diesmal unter dem Namen einer renomierten Kosmetikfirma, versucht mir horrende Summen zu versprechen, gegen eine gar nicht harmlose Gegenleistung. Komisch, dass sie es immer noch mit diesem alten Hut versuchen. Ob da wirklich noch jemand drauf reinfällt? Bei mir werden die jedenfalls sofort im Mülleimer entsorgt, wo sie auch hingehören.
MRS.MARIA GALLAND.
OF ABSA BANK OF
SOUTH AFRICA
ATTENTION:
Courtesy of Business opportunity, I take liberty anchored on strong desire
to solicit for your assistance on this mutual beneficial and risk free
transaction with you, which I hope you give urgent attention.I am Mrs Maria
Galland, the Manager of Bills/Exchange at the Foreign
Exchange/Remittance Department of ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA in my
department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$19,524,000.00 (Nineteen
Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Four Thousand United States Dollars) in an
account that belongs to one of our customers who died along with his entire
family in1988 Lockerbie Pan American Airline plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
Kin to come over and claim his money, because we can not release it unless
somebody applied for its next of Kin or Relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking procedure, but unfortunately to no avail, and
nobody has come forward to claim the money (because the mentioned next of
kin which is Son died as well). Therefore, upon this discovery I and other
two officials in my department now decide to establish acordial business
relationship with you, hence my contacting you. We want you to purportedly
present your good self as the next of Kin or relation of the deceased so
that we can prepare documentations and release the funds (US$19.524 Million)
into your account for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody
is coming for it and again we do not want the funds to go into the
Governments account as Bill”.
The banking law and procedures in South Africa here stipulates that any
account abandoned or dormant for a period of some years is subjected to be
closed and all money contained therein will be forfeited to the Government
Treasury Account. Now it is being speculated that the above sum will be
transferred into Government Treasury Account as unclaimed funds.The reason
for you to present your good self as the next of kin in occasioned by the
fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner. Mode of sharing after the
successful completion of the transfer is as follows, for the role you will
be expected to play in the whole exercise, we have agreed to give you twenty
five (25%) of the total sum, and 5% has been set aside for expenses we
are going to encounter by both parties in the process of this transaction
and the remaining 70% shall be for my colleagues and I. In support of the
aforementioned, you are urged to reply this letter indicating your readiness
and interest to participate in the business. I quite believe that you will
protect our interest by keeping this business Top Secret and Confidential,
as your interest will be equally protected in order to achieve and maintain
maximum confidentiality. Trust to hear from you,in the letter as I count on
your earliest response.
Best Regards
Mrs.Maria Galland.
