Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Mr. Solomon Richard, a Branch Manager with a bank of Johannesburg, South Africa. I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. THE PROPOSITION: A foreigner, Late Engineer Johnson Creek, an Gold Merchant/Contractor with the Government of South Africa, until his death one years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us here in South Africa. , and had a closing balance of US$12.5M (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects it to be claimed by any available foreign next-of-kin of the Late beneficiary or alternatively be donated to a d trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in South Africa. Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Creek family or relatives but proved unsuccessful. It is because of the inability to locate any of Late Engr. Johnson Creek's next-of-kin (he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors are preparing for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition to further enhance the course of arm building in Africa and the world in general. In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next-of-kin to Late Engr. Johnson Creek so that the funds US$12.5M would be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next-of-kin. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out and more so we are assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest would be for me and my colleagues for investment purposes in your country.

If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage of the trust, we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly get to me immediately.
