AKARA GAMA THE DIRECTOR INCHARGE AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT OF ABSA BANK IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA.&lt;br&gt;I am writing following the impressive information about your profile&lt;br&gt;Through the website your capability and reliability to champion this&lt;br&gt;Opportunity. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of 20&lt;br&gt;Million US dollars (twenty million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in September 1992 in a plane crash. Since we got&lt;br&gt;This information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the&lt;br&gt;Deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but&lt;br&gt;Unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died&lt;br&gt;Along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to claim the money.&lt;br&gt;It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my&lt;br&gt;Department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after long period, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family.&lt;br&gt;We agreed that 25% of this money would be for you as foreign partner, in Respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction and 70 % would be for me and my colleagues.&lt;br&gt;Theyâ€™re after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.&lt;br&gt;Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the&lt;br&gt;Text of the application.&lt;br&gt;I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100%&lt;br&gt;Risk free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peopleâ€™s awareness, as we are civil servants.&lt;br&gt;We can conclude this operation within ten banking days. Please keep&lt;br&gt;This very confidential. Contact me for more information, all- confirmable before you apply if you want. Contact me through the above telephone number or via above email address.&lt;br&gt;Trusting to hear from you shortly for detailed information, which are confirmable before you can make up your mind to apply.&lt;br&gt;Peace and love always.&lt;br&gt;Best regards,&lt;br&gt;AKARA GAMA.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">MR.AKARA GAMA</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Nov 2006 03:49:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Digg woes, Segway&amp;#8217;s expansion, Second Life hacked, Chinese grass &amp;#038; more</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2006/09/11/digg-woes-segways-expansion-second-life-hacked-chinese-grass-more/#comment-14667535</link><description>&lt;p&gt;What I wonder is - could someone make a product out of this?
