*******************************************************************
Dear Sir/Madam,
Complement of the season,I am Mr.Rolnald Smith, the Auditor General of a
bank in Africa, 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 again, after going through some old files in the
records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir]
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 is Mr. Frankline
Sullivan, a foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1998. and no other
person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
Frankline Sullivan until his death was the manager Sulliv Coy.(pty). SA.
it is one big oppotunity that has come close to you. I find it to be a
blessing for both of us. We want to transfer the (MONEY) to overseas ($
126,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Twenty six million United States
