Subject: From ABSA Bank-South Africa.
From: Dr. Temba Idibia.
Auditor manager,
ABSA Bank SA.
Email: idibiac@mighty.co.za
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.
With great pleasure I am writing you this proposal on behalf of my partners. A member of our government trade delegation to your country gave your impeccable profile to me; hence I have decided to seek your cooperation, due to the sensitivity of this transaction and my commitment as a civil servant.
I am Dr. Temba Idibia, an auditor manager in my bank ABSA BANK in South Africa. There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account. After going through some old files in the record, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of the account is Andrea Schranner a German citizen. He is a foreign consultant and a miner at Kruger Gold Co. and he died since 2000 in an air crash along with his wife on 25th July with an Air France concord plane that crash into Hotelissimo bound for New York with 109 passengers on board in their plan for a world cruise. You can confirm this from the website below from publisher by BBC.WEBSITEPUBLISHEDONBBC.

No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything about his account and the amount involved is (US$16,000,000.00) Sixteen million United States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the account Late Andrea Schranner was a foreigner too.
Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit, since our period of disengagement from the service is near. We are presently affected by the South Africa civil service code of conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign accounts.
I have the authority of my partners in office to propose that, if you are willing to assist us in this transaction, your share, as compensation will be 20% while my colleagues and I receive 70% and the balance of 10% for taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.
This transaction is 100% risk free provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Furthermore, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.
Kindly contact me on the above confidential EMAIL ADDRESS with your response to indicate your willingness in assisting us.
Thank you and God bless,
My sincere Regards,
Dr. Temba Idibia.
