Subject: NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time
goes on incase you are willing to assist me in making
this proposal a reality,we will now probably meet in
person.
We want to transfer to overseas account
($32,000.000.00 USD) Thirty-two million United States
Dollars) from a Prime Bank here in Nigeria, I want to
ask you, If you can 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 A/C
immediately to receive this money, even an empty A/C
can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end for this important
business trusting in you and believing in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks
here in Nigeria, during the course of our auditing,I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the
bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has
operated on this account again,after going throughsome
old files in the records I discovered that the owner
of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] 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 PEDRO F. HASLER a
foreigner, a great industrialist and he died since
1998.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 until his death he was the manager GOLD ARK
[pty].S.A.
We will start the first transfer with Twelve million
[$12,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining rest amount to your Account.
The total amount involve is Thirty-two million United
States Dollars only [$32,000.000.00]. I want to first
transfer $12,000.000.00 [Twelve United StatesDollar]
from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad
before the rest. But I don't know any foreigner, I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
can not be approved to a local Person here, without
valid international foreign passport, but can only be
approved to any foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers license and foreign A/C because
the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the
a/c is a foreigner too, and the money can only be
approved into a foreign A/C.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together when we meet face to face after the first
transfer of $12 Million before
transferring the second part of $20 Million. I am
revealing this to you with believe in God that you
will never let me down in this business, you are the
first and the only person that I am contacting for
this business, so please reply urgently so that I will
inform you the next step to take urgently. Send also
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
immediately after the first transfer before we fly to
your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
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 instruction of a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business. I need your strong assurance that you will
never, never let me down.
With my influence and my position in the bank the bank
official can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account that you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our
physical arrival in your country for sharing. The bank
official Will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
any place and to build confidence you can
call me for heart to heart discussion through my
private satellite phone which I secured for the
security and safety of this business as you know that
this business is confidential.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 and
foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transfer.
I look forward to your earliest reply through this
email address or my professional but confidential
email address drdajuma@mail.com
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly
Dr Danjuma Mohammed
N.B
Definitely,a transaction of this magnititude needs
funds to execute and make it a reality and before,i
contacted you,i have already made a feasibility study
on how much we would need to carryout this project and
it is about $35,000.
Do not be alarmed,you are not going to spend any fund
of yours caused before i contacted you,i have already
made an arrangement with an investor in canada,who is
going to assist us with the funds needed for us to
complete the transaction.
If you are interested,immediately,give me your
telephone/fax number and contact address for me to
give to the investor to contact you and send the funds
needed for us to complete the transaction.
