Attention:
                      HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Greetings,
This mail may come to you as a surprise but I plead with you to patiently read through it before 
making a decision whether to assist me or not.I wish to solicit for your assistance in the 
transaction which l strongly believes will be of mutual benefit to both of us if treated with trust 
and confidentiality that it deserve. I am Mr.Joseph Mbata(FCAA), the chief accountant of African 
Development Bank (AFDB). I and my colleague wish to seek your assistance in the transfer of some 
huge sum of money into a foreign bank account.
This money was deposited Eight years ago in a fixed deposit account in my bank by an Oil 
consultant/contractor with the South African Mining corporation. (Name deliberately withheld for 
now) The length of time for the maturity of the fixed deposit was Six years, which expired towards 
the ending of last year. Upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to his forwarding address 
but got no reply.
After a month, a reminder was also sent and finally we discovered from his Contract employers - The 
South African Mining Corporation that the depositor died in since 2000. On further investigation, I 
found out that the depositor/beneficiary actually died in a plane crash, in May 2000 and he left 
nobody as next-of-kin to claim this money. All efforts made to trace any known relations of his 
proved abortive, and no one has written our bank in this regard.
Hence, this said money is still lying in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the 
principal sum at the end of each year. Now it’s clear no one will ever come forward to claim it.And 
according to the Laws of Republic of South Africa, the money will revert to the ownership of The 
South African Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
All modalities for the successful transfer of this money into an offshore bank account have been 
put in place and we are looking for a trust worthy foreign partner into whose bank account this 
fund would be remitted to and it is this regard that my colleague has mandated me to provide a 
partner who will assist us. We have agreed to compensate you with 25% of the total amount if you 
should accept to assist us.
If you are interested in giving us the required assistance, kindly reply these mails stating your 
Telephone/Fax numbers for further action.Because of the secrecy surrounding this transaction, l 
suggests that you contact me only through this e-mail, until further notice.
I am looking forward to a favorable reply from you soon. Feel free to ask any question in this 
regard and please reply through my private mail box:jmbata1@yahoo.co.uk
I remain,
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Joseph Mbata
