It is a scam.

Of course the documents look real. If they looked fake, you wouldn't even ask the question.

However, if you've been living under a rock for the last ten years or just haven't turned your TV on, maybe you haven't heard about Nigerian scams or Lottery scams or Bank scams or any other number of things.

Think about it. In order for him to transfer money into your account, you are going to have to give him your account number. Once you do, he'll clean your account out and you can kiss your hard earned money good-bye. He's got your money and unless you want to go to Africa (ABSA is in JOHANESBURG, S. Africa) and try to find him to get your money back, you are out of luck.

I've posted two links below so you can read about the ABSA bank scams.

Throw the letter away. Don't give him any of your personal information. If you already have, go immediately to your bank and talk to a bank manager and tell them what happened so they can put a hold on your account before you lose everything that's in there.

Don't be ignorant - it is a scam.

I will give you millions of dollars, but first I need the following from you: your SS#, your bank account, your PIN, and your DOB.

Please send this to me if you want millions....

duh!
