It is with great honour and previledge that i was able to capture your
contact from the internet.My Name is Mr.Mandla Mongo Muenda ,a citizen
of
South Africa and a credit officer of the Lloyds TSB Group plc Uk.Our
Late
Customer Mr. Louis Campher who is a national of your country and who
(in
this case I am his accounting officer) died along with his wife and his
Two
sons in a ghastly motor accident along the express way, over 3 years
now
(August 13, 2002).All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.Our
late
Customer was a successful and an accomplished family man,He was an Oil
consultant/contractor with the South African Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy.Before his untimely dead,he made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18
calendar months with our bank valued at US$47,000,000.00,(Fourty-Seven
Million United state Dollars).Upon maturity several notice was sent to
him,
but all effort proved abortive.

Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate
any
of his extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through
the
Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was
recorded.The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution,and as
the
accounting officer I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the
payment
of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank
as an
abandoned property.Further investigations revealed that he did not
declare
any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his
bank
deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office
that
no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Fourty-Seven
Million
United state Dollars is still lying in my bank,and no one will ever
come
forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that The Directors of my
bank
had planned to invoke!
the abandoned property decree of

However,I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same
country ,I
have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document
that
will back you up as the next of kin.All I require is your honest
cooperation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law.Be Inform also that we shall share the funds in the ratio 50% for
me and
45% for you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government
may
require.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.I will bring you into a more detailed picture of
this
transaction when I hear from you.Your earliest response to this letter
will
be appreciated via my private email address[mandlakg4@yahoo.co.uk]
regards
Muenda
