Help Make My Film Production Journal Entry - August 4, 2003

 Well, well, well. A few more dollars closer and some very nice supportive  e-mails. I'm glad to see that people do care about helping artists make their dreams happen. If that weren't enough, I opened my e-mail today and  yowza, yowza, yowza, I think I got this donation thing covered. Some really  considerate and utterly "Selfless" dude from a South African  Bank, forwarded me a proposition that I must share with you. Now I hope  you can keep a secret because this is really only supposed to be between  me and the guy from the bank. But I feel like we're family, so I'll let  you in on the secret....

 OK, check this out. This guy from the bank writes

 (this is actually what the e-mail says):

Mr Sollie Nortje

 PSG Investment Bank

 AlXXXXXXXXg 183 Main Road

 Rondebosch, XXXX Claremont, XXX

 Republic of South Africa

 Email:  xxxxxx@indiatimes.com

 WebFax: 1-xxx xx7 xx5

(***not his complete e-mail address or fax, can't let him to know I told anyone)

 Dear Sir/Madam,

 I am Sollie Nortje Bank Manager of PSG Investment Bank .This is an urgent and very confidential business proposition.

 On June 6, 2000,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr.Sean Powell made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$26,500,000.00,(Twenty-six Million, five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.

 Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Sean Poewll 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.Sean Powell did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$26,500,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safekeeping.

 No one will ever come forward to claim it.

 According to South African Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

 Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money which was fixed deposited in my bank. I am writing you because I as a public servant,i cannot operate a foreign account.

 I want to present you as the owner of the funds so you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney. This is simple.I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the beneficiary of the funds.

 The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you. The paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

 If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address or  web-based fax +1-xx5 xx7 xx5. and Upon your response,I shall then provide  you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand  the transaction.

 Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.

 Due to the nature of confidentiality in this Transaction our communication can only be via email and fax mostly.

 Awaiting your urgent reply via my email or WebFax Above.

 Thanks and my regards.

 Sollie Nortje.

 Branch Manager

 PSG Investment Bank

 It is such a kind gesture don't you think? Man, for that much money I could make a few independent films. Wow, imagine that. Some stranger half way around the world, loves independent films so much and believes in me so much that he would share 20% of this rich dead guy's stash with little ole me. And to think, he's been saving it for such an occasion as mine since June 6, 2000!!!

 Mr. South African Dude you rock. Everybody, clap for the branch manager of PGM Investment Bank. We salute you!!! Now where is that e-mail address to the FBI?

 Hey maybe I should introduce him to the Jesus Freak family that e-mailed  me. I'm sure they may be able to come to some understanding.
