Mr.Edward Moko
18 Independence Close,
Johannesburg,
South Africa.
Dear sir/Madam
We want to transfer to overseas the sum of Forty Four Point Two Million
United States Dollars (U.S.$44.2,000,000.00) from a bank in Africa.
I want to ask you to kindly look for a reliable and honest person who will
be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set
up a new bank account immediately to receive this money,though an empty
bank account could serve this purpose as long as you will remain honest
to me till the end of this important business trusting in you and believing
in God that you will never let me down either now or in time to come.
I am Mr.Edward Moko.the external auditor of a Bank.During the course of
our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank
in 1995 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account gain.After going
through some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a "Heir apparent to the throne" hence the money is
floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited
for nothing. The owner of this account who is Mr.Eshed.B.Willey, a foreigner
and an industrialist died, since 1995,until now no other person(s) knows
about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this
account. As such this account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me as well that Eshed.B.Willey until his death was the manager
Oriental Diamond Company,in South Africa. However, if you are interested
in this business we will start the first money transfer with Fourteen Point
Two Million U.S.Dollars(U.S.$14.2,000,000.00) upon successful transaction
without any disappointment from you. We shall also re-apply for the payment
of the remaining amount to your account. While the total amount involved
is Forty Four Point Two Million United States Dollars (U.S.$44.2,000,000.00)only.
I would want us to make a first transfer of [Fourteen Point Two Million
United States Dollar. U.S.$14.2,000,000.00)from this money into a safe foreigners
account abroad before the rest. I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid
international foreign "Agreement", but could only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international credentials: passport or drivers license and foreign
account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and the former owner of the
account Mr.Eshed.B.Willey is a foreigner too, thus the money could only
be approved into a foreign account. However, knowing all this, we will reach
a binding agreement in this regards.
As a matter of urgency,I will inform you the next step to take, while you
Send your private telephone and fax number including the full details of
the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face to
build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together
before transferring the money to any account of your choice where the fund
will be safe. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments,I need your full co-operation to make this business a success,
because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner
who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you,upon
your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and
will meet up with the instructions of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business. I need your strong assurance that you
will never let me down. With my influence and the position in the bank we
can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can
provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. And to build confidence that you can
come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make
this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country
at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I will apply
for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready
to act as directed. To prove the authenticity of the business I will use
my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer
of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries, foreign exchange departments, embassy and Board of Internal
Revenue Services. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during this process.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address.
Respectfully
Mr.Edward Moko.
