Hello xxx
Thank you for giving me your time, it is of great importance for you to take care and understand every word which I have written down below; please be patient and read the explanation in my email. I am Mr.Stephanus Nicolaas, a staff of Standard Bank of South Africa Limited. here in South Africa, attached in Private Banking Services, I am contacting you concerning a customer and an investment placed under our banks management; as a matter of fact it was years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and also to kindly respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this email. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication; I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
I contacted you concerning a deceased customer Aziz Musa Numan (An Iraqi Crude oil merchant), and an investment he placed under our banks management. Once again I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I am contacting on you independently and no one is informed of this communication I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In June 2004, Aziz Musa Numan came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 18.3 million United States dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case because of his high net worth profile; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto Chief Operations Officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional stocks and bond managers and 300 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation,
the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at 22.5 million United States dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, after the war (U.S and Iraqi war), Nine years ago (2006). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd. Information started to trickle in that Aziz Musa Numan and his family had been killed during the a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes.
In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence. Accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank even gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; our now deceased client died in-testate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to
get to the root of the problem. It is quite clear now that our dear client died with no known or identifiable family member.
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the portfolio and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Standard Bank of South Africa, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit to Management of Standard Group Plc. This will result in the money entering the Standard Bank of South Africa, accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of Nine {9} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the South Africa Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. This will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish to relate to you will smack off unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who sit upon certain chairs and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US $22,500,000.00 (Twenty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) deposit just lying unclaimed. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased's family; they have investigated for several months and have found no identifiable family member. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to furnish the necessary details to you as the closest surviving relation. I am also proposing that after successful execution of the business deal and the money in your account, the funds be disbursed in the ratio 50/50; 50% of the funds will go to you for offering yourself as the next of kin and providing a foreign account especially an offshore account for safe transfer of the funds and 50% will be for me. Please let me know in your next correspondence if the above sharing ratio is okay by you because we can fine-tune this based on our interactions incase you have any problem with it. Following the master plan for this deal I am looking at a bank that have transaction understanding with my bank as first point of transfer to put off eyebrows that may be raised or to avoid unnecessary questioning.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. Once more, I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail and forget I ever contacted you, I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come one's way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by. For once I find myself in total control of my destiny. This chance won't pass me by and please do not let me miss my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant modus operandi to initiate this process towards a conclusion.
Please, again, note I am a family Man; I am happily married with kids, I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences might be, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold, this is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients; do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord I shall have the pleasure of meeting you, after this task has been completed plan a meeting.
I await your response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Stephanus Nicolaas

Dear xxx
Thank you for your email, I now wish to confirm the receipt of your information, indeed things are getting more real now. I needed to be careful due to the money involved, but now you have proven to me that you are a remarkable man of your words. I am very happy about this, you have earned my full respect and trust, and I hope you will live up to the respect I have for you.
I will be sending your information to the lawyer who will be doing the paper work, and I will further update you later on the bank where you are to open a new bank account in your name, once the account is ready I will transfer the fund to the new account, I will also send you a copy of my Work ID for your reference purpose. Though all these will be done upon the receipt of your response.
Furthermore, you should be aware that the bank we are going to use for this transaction is situated in the ITALY, and for me as a banker it is my duty to ensure that this transfer is done in a quiet manner and one of the reasons we are using this bank is because the bank is of the same telex type as my bank, which means that any transfer between this bank and my bank would be seen as an in-house transfer, this will avoid the attention of certain international financial bodies that have strict monetary policies, you have nothing to worry about regarding this.
The authorities would simply believe this transfer to be a bank to bank affair and it would not raise eyebrows or trigger any red flags, it is necessary to take precautions on issues like this, and I have to ensure that our interest are protected in this transaction, I am a professional banker and I expect you to follow my instructions, for the success of this transaction.
At this point, I also feel I should let you know some important issues with regards to expenses involved in this transaction. You might not be aware of what it takes to have such an amount transferred, especially being inherited funds, well let me make it clear to you that I will take care of the cost of all the logistics that has to do with this transfer, such as the cost of retaining the services of the Attorney and obtaining the necessary official documents and clearances from the South African authorities, including other miscellaneous expenses which I must incur to ensure a hitch free transfer, I don’t intend to take any phase of this transaction for granted.
I want make it clear to you here that 5% of the total sum shall be mapped aside to be used to settle all expenses incurred from both parties during this transaction as a form of reimbursement, and as a result of this I will advise you to keep records of any expenses you incur no matter the amount, I will keep records of my expenses, we will deduct it from the 5% during the overall calculation. As stipulated in my previous email to you, 50% of the overall sum shall be retained by you as your own share for being a foreign partner in this transaction, I have explained the reason why I need your assistance, and the fact remains that I cannot transfer the funds in my own name, this is the major reason your assistance as a foreigner is required.
It is pertinent at this point for me to inform you that I shall handle all costs on my side of this transaction; however you will be required to handle the expenses on your side, such as the cost of opening your account and having it activated with an opening balance. Actually for a person of your age and status I expect you to handle this issue of processing your account.
Also on the issue of taxes I will have the inheritance taxes and other taxes paid for from here, I don’t want you to have any difficulties in paying for taxes so I will take care of that. My international passport is attached along with this message, I will send you a copy of my Work ID shortly, upon the receipt of your response.

Dear xxx
I have to thank you very much indeed for showing some great responsibility and trust, your interest has proved to be genuine and I must also let you know that having confirmed your identity and genuine commitment, I feel much more comfortable doing this business with you, even though we have not had a verbal conversation on the phone. Please my friend; do not let me down in this important transaction and all the trust I am giving you as a foreign partner, a friend and someone I may now consider to be a Brother. I would indeed be overwhelmed meeting you in person, perhaps there are lots of other transactions we could have together apart from this, I have being in the financial sector for many years though I try as much as possible to diversify my interests by exploring new frontiers.
After I receive the information's contained in your identification document, I immediately sent the information to the attorney /advocate who will put together the perfected paper work to be sent to the bank for the immediate release and transfer of the funds to you, this should take some days depending on how fast you can open the new account. My attorney have conclude inquiries on some bank that has the same transfer telex type with my bank, the bank is in ITALY and do not need you to travel before you can open the new account. I did use my bank name to prescribe you to the bank in Italy, so they have your name and they are expecting you to contact them.
I am now sending you the foreign bank detail in the ITALY. (Banca Credito Italiano) so you can contact them and make inquiries on offshore/online account opening, I advise you like I said earlier that you should open a new online account with this bank in Italy, so that once the funds are released, they will be transferred straight into your new account and the transfer will not attract the international monetary bodies, as the transfer will be regarded as an in-house (same telex type with my bank.) If you also remember I told you in my previous email that when the funds have been transferred into the new online account which you shall open, and after you have confirmed that the funds are credited in your account, you shall then begin disbursement of the funds into your personal account in your home country.
I have all ready made some inquires on who to contact directly to open an account as an international customer, please contact the bank with the information below to speed up your account opening. Let them know you want an account that you can operate online and you do not have time to travel to come over to open the new account so we want everything done via email and fax and telephone. Tell them that a bank in South Africa, gave you this contact information.

Email: rbtvelo@unicredit-it.com

Tel: +39 0108480111
I have to let you know that the Banca Credito Italiano. is a regular Commercial bank but rather a Credit Intermediary Bank which operates an online banking system in a small scale and renders banking services to individuals and companies involved in international operations. One of the major reasons we are using Banca Credito Italiano, is because this bank happens to be of the same telex type with the bank I work, which means that any transfer between them and my bank would always be seen as an in-house transfer, this definitely avoided the attention of certain international financial bodies that have strict monetary policies. The authorities would simply regard such transfer to be a Bank to Bank affair and it would not raise eyebrows or trigger any red flags, it was absolutely necessary to take certain precautions on transactions like this, I have to ensure that our interest are protected in this transaction. Being a professional banker for many years I expect you
to heed my advice for the success of this transaction and the subsequent disbursement of the funds.
I shall await an update from you shortly about the opening of your new online account, please make contact with Banca Credito Italiano and apply for the account because I would like the account opening to be fast; you can contact the bank via their email address (email).

May God bless you for your positive resolve to affect our lives.
Your Sincerely,
