Dear Friend,

This letter was first sent to you two weeks ago, but up till now, I
have not heard from you. Based on this, I decided to resend the
proposal to you. Though, I know for security reasons, this is not the
safest means to reach you but was left with no other viable option
since there is a pressing need to reach you. I am quite sure that this
email will surprise you since I have not been having previous
correspondence with you.

My name is Paul Freeman and I work with the South African Reserve
Bank. We have a good business proposition for you that I know that by
the special grace of God; will be beneficial to you.

Firstly, before I proceed, I have to assure you that this email is
neither junk nor mere imagination, but practically achievable if given
your maximum support and cooperation. I decided to contact you due to
the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION:
There is a certain sum of money, duly approved by the government of
South Africa, belonging to a contractor from Bolivia who is late now.
The Bank record shows that the fund was actually for a contract the
late contractor wanted to start in 2008 before his sudden death and as
such since his death, none of his relations or next-of-kin has come
forward to lay claims for this deposit as the heir.

This is the reason I have contacted you. My Bank cannot release the
deposit unless someone applies for a claim as the partner/next-of-kin
to the deceased as indicated in our operating guidelines.

I now seek your permission to have you stand as the partner/next of
kin to the deceased as all documentation will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds to be released in your favor as the beneficiary’s
next of kin. It may also interest you to know that we have secured
from the probate an order to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavor if you are interested.
After the transfer, we shall destroy all related documents for this
account and close it down. It is a careful network and for the past 14
years, we have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.

The amount is $26,500,000 and we have the contract papers with us.

Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. All that we
require is your honest co-operation to enable us to see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by e-mail to enable us to outline to you
our strategy on how to go about this.

You may also send your phone number so that I can call you.

Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information contained herein
is accorded the necessary attention,

urgency as well as secrecy it deserves.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
