FROM MR,MICHELLE BUNT.
# 432B JOAHNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA.
Attn,
[RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000.00]
Dear,
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important
business having gone through your remarkable profile on the
internet.
Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I
choose to reach you through it because it still remains the
fastest medium of communication. However, this
correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be
treated as such.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is
100% risk and trouble free to both parties.
My name is MR.MICHELLE BUNT.I work as the operational
manager in account management section in charge of credit
and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South
Africa.
On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary
account with a Balance Of US$48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight
million two hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar).On
further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the
account holder has died long ago with his family on a fatal
Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary to the account and no
other person knows about this account.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who
is my partner and he is willing to approve the transfer to
any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign bank
account because the former operator of the a/c is a
foreigner and from Australia in particular.
I am certainly sure that he has no writen or oral WILL
attached to the account , no beneficiary and nobody will
come again for the claim of this money.
It is only a foreigner who can claim this money with legal
claims to the account holder which I will provide to you if
you are interested, therefore I need your cooperation in
this transaction.
The difference in country of origins is not a hindrance to
the success of this transaction. This money will remain
useless in this dormant account if I did not transfer the
fund out to a foreign account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents
needed in order to claim this money. I only need your
cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account
information for the transfer.
All arrangement that will ensure a smooth transfer of the
fund to the account which you are to nominate is already in
place.You should also provide me with your direct phone
lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost
confidentiality in handling this transaction.
At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be
25% of the total transfer sum, 70% for me and my partner
while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties
might incure during the process of the transfer.
The fund will be transferred to your account in two parts.
I will first transfer USD 20 Million to your account. I will
fly over to meet you after the successful transfer for
sharing according to the agreed percentages.
I will have the remaining balance of USD28,223 Million
transferred to your account only after the successful
sharing of the first transfer without any disappointment
from your side.
Have a nice day as I entrust this transfer into your hands.
Let me hear from you Urgently.
Best Regards,
Mr.MICHELLE BUNT.
