 Sir,

RE: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO MOVE MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT

With all due respect, I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 
6th 2004 an American Oil Contractor with the Petroleum Oil And Gas Corporation of South Africa 
(PetroSA), Mr. Daniel Jones made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, 
totaling $12,500,000 (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I 
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a 
reminder only to discover from his contract employers, PetroSA that Mr. Daniel Jones had died from 
an automobile accident.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without leaving a WILL and all attempts to trace 
his next-of-kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. 
Daniel Jones did not declare any kindred or relation in all his official documents, including his 
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of $12,500,000 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 the South African banking law; at the expiration of 5 (five) 
years, the money will be declared domicile and subsequently dropped into the bank coffers as 
returns on un-operated account. Nobody will ever come forward for the money in this account.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a partner to stand in as the next of kin to 
Mr. Daniel Jones so that the fruit of this old mans labor will not get into the hands of the 
so-called bank directors. This is simple, I will like you to provide me with your full names and 
address so that an attorney/lawyer will prepare the necessary legal documents and a ‘Court 
Affidavit’ 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 administration from the Probate Department in your favor for the transfer. 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 60% for me and 30% for you, while 10% would be put aside for all expenses that might be incurred 
in the course of this transaction.

There is no risk attached to this transaction as all the paperwork will be arranged by an attorney 
and with my position as the Branch Manager, guarantees the successful execution of this 
transaction. If you are interested, please do contact me as soon as you receive this letter via my 
telephone or fax above (you can also send me email). Upon your response, I shall then provide you 
with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand this transaction. Please 
observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable 
for both of us because I shall also require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Yours truly,

Mr. Vusi Masele
