Subject: $$ URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED...$$$$
Hello Dear,
It is obvious that this letter will come to you as a surprise as we
don’t know ourselves before, but be rest assured that it is real and a
genuine business. Before I proceed, I must apologize for this
spontaneous mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a
conservative way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but
you will realize the need for my action. First, I must solicit your
confidence in this proposal; this is by the nature of it as being
utterly confidential or top secret. I am Barrister, a South Africa
lawyer by profession. I am the Attorney, a legal adviser to Mr. Rafik
Hariri, Born in Lebanon in 1944, The late Rafik Hariri was a Lebanese
self-made billionaire and business tycoon that travels all over the
world, and was five times the Prime Minister of Lebanon. You can view
this site for confirmation.
I decided to find someone that is real and not an imaginary and that
was why I went for a secured site where I can be sure that the person
is for real. Mr. Rafik Hariri deposited the sum of US$30 Million
(Thirty Million United States Dollar) in a bank herein south Africa
which was not traceable after his sudden death because there was no
next of kin or business partner on the time of deposit. The bank had
contacted me on many occasions over the past years to present the
supposed Next of kin to my late client. This fund has lasted more than
expected period in the Bank security vault, and the Bank has issued me
a final notice to present the next of kin to my late client or the
account will be declared un-serviceable or confiscated by the Bank
treasury due to the ongoing Bank reform here in South Africa to
implement the announcement made by Prime Minister some years back
which stated that some of the money held in dormant accounts would be
used to fund youth and community projects.
The South Africa Government is now making every efforts to confiscate
all dormant account that has been more than ten year. Arrangement is
on top gear by the South Africa Government to use the money in dormant
accounts to fund production of Vaccines to be distributed to the less
privileged ones and other humanitarian services during this present
pandemic. I need someone I could trust to channel this money as next
of kin/Business partner to the deceased. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried. But I am assuring you that; all the legal documentations to
back up your claim as my client’s next of kin, I shall provide. All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us achieve this goal. I
am convinced that the intended transaction is 100% risk free, that you
should not entertain any atom of fear, the fact is that I just don’t
want my late client funds to be declared as unclaimed fund by the Bank
management or be confiscated by the government, as a result
It is upon this discovery that I decided to contact you on this
business, Permit me to ask you this few questions,
(1) Can I completely trust you?
(2) I am ready to offer you 40%? While 20% of this money will be
shared among charity Organizations, the remaining 80% is shared
equally between us. I will use my position as the client’s attorney to
guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
Call me on my Direct telephone + 27 631 292 149
Upon your response, I shall provide you with more details about this
transaction; also you should understand that this should be kept very
confidential. However, if this business proposal offends your moral
ethics, do accept my sincere apology, or if on the contrary you wish
to achieve this goal with me, kindly get back to me with your interest
for further details.
I need your strong assurance and confidentiality in this matter.
Best regards,
ALAN RICKMAN
