Dear

This is confirming receipt of your response mail as I hope you are keeping safe with the social distancing rule in these days of the Covid-19 Pandemic Worldwide.

Do understand that in a bid to explain the content of my previous mail which inquired of your relationship with a deceased client of mine and proposes an application to be presented before the holding institution of an investment policy that has compounded over the years, I am sending you a very lengthy message as I indulge you to read carefully for a better understanding.

I have personally contacted you privately as I was furnished with your email address by an HR/PR consulting company here in Johannesburg, South Africa as a probable relative of my deceased client. I would have contacted you from our official portal but because of the nature of this transaction, I have contacted you from my private mailbox.

I am a Private/Personal attorney to the subject matter; Engr. Abraham (Abe); An American who was the Chief Mining Engineer with Anglo-Gold Ashanti SA (Pty) Ltd here in Johannesburg up until the time of death.

In March 2006, Engr. had visited our offices to consult with our Law Firm regarding his financial/business interest within South Africa and other SADEC Nation's for probable retainerships in overseeing such interest as Legal advisers and in such mien I was accorded the role as his private legal adviser. He notified our law firm about the transfer of a contractual entitlement of Eight Million United States Dollars from Eskom to the concerned holding institution, with an express instruction to reinvest on his behalf as he was always away at the Mines within, outside Johannesburg and other SADEC Nations as expatriate Mining Engineer. Being his de-facto legal officer assigned to his financial interests and investments, I assigned one of our officers in our financial services section to his portfolio who made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer with the private banking sector of the concerned institution, especially given the volume of funds he had already ploughed into the bank for Investment purposes. We met on numerous occasions and discussed viable investment opportunities.

On the 22nd May, 2016 my client, his wife and an only daughter were involved in a car accident along the N1 South Freeway Johannesburg as all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives but all proved unsuccessful. I was also contacted by the deceased insurance company and probate to process some documentations related to the deceased policies with them respectively. These obligations I have fulfilled as the deceased legal representative here in South Africa except the presentation of an heir or next-of-kin as all my attempts have proved to no avail in locating any of the deceased's direct family or someone with close family ties.

The most important factor that initiated my proposal to you is that Maximum five years (5) years window period of dormancy allowed by Treasury for accounts such as this will elapse immediately the final Audit session for the financial year-end commences by next month and discovered that such window period have elapsed, it will be handed over to the South African Revenue Services (SARS) evaluation and a next round of Audit upon which it will finally be forfeited to SARS and Treasury as Unclaimed dividend and reinvested in Federal Government Bonds (FGB) as specified by the statutes and Banking Act.Sharing same surname and nationality with the deceased depositor have given me the leverage to present you as beneficiary as I have you to stand as next of Kin.

The Said Bank has issued me various procedural notices to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for the past years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you share the same last names so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you as the bonafide beneficiary.The liabilities here stands on my shoulder's as the de-facto legal personality and private attorney to the deceased at time of death and after since am the sole signatory to all his financial transaction's while he was alive as all onus of proof is my designation as his private attorney but in this scenario, there are no liabilities or consequences because the holding institution will be conferring all/every title of ownership/ beneficiary rights once I present you as beneficiary with every support documentation in my coffers after validating the claim.
You don't have any liabilities whatsoever besides being that the funds will be cleared by the holding institution via due procedures and thereafter granted all approval's that meets all International Standards including the Federal Reserve as proof and source of funds as an Inherited entitlement will be released to you at final deployment of the funds to any designated account of your's in your home country.

Take note that I am in perfect possession of all the required items of this bank account and all other relevant documentations that will perfect the success of the execution of this covenant. Upon your unbiased and speedy response to this call, I will inform you with all the required/necessary details with the modes of the execution of this covenant. I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

You may please get back at me in confirming your interest/ readiness in kick-starting this life changing transaction going forward.

Kind Regards,

Sarah McNally
