I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. An American Gold consultant/contractor with the South African Solid Gold Corporation, Mr. Austin Bryant made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$8,500,000.00 (Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the South African Solid Gold Corporation that Austin Bryant died in a plane crash in Alaska Airlines Flight 261(for more information about this crash and people who died you can contact this websit:<A rel=nofollow><FONT color=#000099 size=2>http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/</FONT></A> .</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Austin Bryant did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$8,500,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of <SPAN id=lw_1189427033_0 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; HEIGHT: 1em"><SPAN id=lw_1189601021_1 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; HEIGHT: 1em">Republic OF SOUTH AFRICA</SPAN></SPAN>, at the expiration of 7 (Seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Austin Bryant so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as a promient official of ABSA guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. <BR> <BR>Please send me your confidential telephone numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.<BR> <BR>Awaiting your urgent reply via my confidential email address: </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Best regards.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Mr Williams Johnson</DIV><p>  <hr size=1> <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=51201/*http://autos.yahoo.com/new_cars.html;_ylc=X3oDMTE5NWVzZGVyBF9TAzk3MTA3MDc2BHNlYwNtYWlsdGFncwRzbGsDYXV0b3MtbmV3Y2Fy ">Check out </a> the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo!
