Dear Friend, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Marshall Rapiya of Old Mutual Bank South Africa. I have a concealed business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr. Rasheed Ibrahim who was an Iraqi Businessman and also Deals On Arms With The South African Government made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of $14,500,000.00 (Fourteen million Five Hundred thousand united state Dollars) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war, again after the war several notifications were sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Rasheed Ibrahim and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home in Iraq. After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr Rasheed Ibrahim did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Fourteen million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank an one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of Five years the funds will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Rashid Ibrahim so that you will be able to receive his funds. WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Rasheed Ibrahim, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate/Administration in your favor for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication, and I will provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Kind Regards, Mr. Marshall Rapiya
