Dear Friend,
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in
this letter. However, I came to know of you in my private search for a
reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction
of this nature in respect to our investment plans in real estate. Though I
know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end.
In order to transfer out (USD 121 M) One hundred and twenty one million
United States Dollars) from African Development Bank. I have the courage to
ask you to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for
this important business believing that you will never let me down either now
or in future.
I am Mr. Nick Donald. The Chief Auditor General of African Development Bank
(ADB). There is an account opened in his bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody
has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in
the records I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it
would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B.
Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold co., A geologist by
profession and he died since 1990. 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 this company does not know anything
about this account and the amount involved is (USD 121M) One hundred and
twenty one million United States Dollars million dollars.
I want to first transfer first (USD 21M) Twenty-one million United States
Dollars 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 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 is Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a
foreigner too. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as
we don’t know our selves before.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account and foreign beneficiary. 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 later immediately, if you are able and with capability to handle such
amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and
advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again
in my life. I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to
make mistake I need your strong assurance and trust.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction
Immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place. You can
also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this
remittance in your presence and two 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 and receive this fund in your account. I will use my
position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.
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 the process of transferring. Please indicate
willingness to enter into preliminary discussions on confidential basis.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address
yours truly
Mr. Nick Donald.
