Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
Dear friend,
My name is Mr. Nozipo Pfupajena Chief Credit Officer (CCO), Standard Chartered Bank. On December 6,
1999, a Foreign consultant/contractor, Mr. Peter Smith, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at 30,000,000.00, 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 and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, that Mr. Smith died from an automobile accident. 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. Smith did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Deposit paperwork here.
>From past experiences, I know that no one will ever come forward to claim the deceased funds. According to
my country Laws, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the funds will be Unclaimed and revert to the ownership of
the State if nobody applies to claim the fund. In order to avert this development, I in conjunction with a
colleague (the Chief Operating Officer in the bank) now seek your permission to allow an attorney do a
backdated WILL in your name, so that the funds would be released to you as the new owner (on behalf of me
and my colleague). We are writing you because, as public servants, we cannot operate a foreign account or
have an account that is more than Five Hundred thousand in my country's currency. Consequently, I will present
you as the owner of the funds so you can be able to claim them with the help of an attorney. This is simple. I will
like you to provide immediately your: FULL NAMES/FULL CONTACT ADDRESS/PHONE/FAX
NUMBERS, so that an Attorney will prepare the necessary papers which will put you in place as the new
owner. It will then be released to you, for us to split. The Attorney will do all the paperwork and this will
guarantee everything. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and further explanation
that will help you understand.
Note also that we shall require your assistance to invest our share in your country. (Buying of properties like
houses, hotels etc). Reach me via my email. nozipo1@uymail.com
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Nozipo Pfupajena.
