RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 26,310.000.00 USD)
TWENTY SIX MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
ONLY
Dear sir,
In order to transfer out (USD 26.310 MILLION)twenty six million three
hundred and ten thousand United tates Dollars from FIRST BANK PLC. I want to
ask you to quietly 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 also serve for this
purpose.
I am Mrs GLORIA KAI, the Auditor General of FIRST BANK PLC LAGOS, during the
course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1996 and since 1998-2002 nobody has operated on this account
again,
after going through some old files, from 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 Alexander Rosenour, a foreigner, and an
industrialist, and he died, since 1999
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm 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 Mr.Alexander
Rosenour, until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with EIGHTEEN Million[$18,000.000] upon
successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account, I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to
a local person here, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid
information about Mr.
Alexander Rosenour,who is a foreigner too. However, I am revealing this to
you with believein God that you will never let me down when the money enters
your A/C.
Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit I need your full understanding and
co-operation to make this work fine because the management of the Bank 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.
Two of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money
going into the account. 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 for easy and smooth transfer of the fund into your account
without question.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 15% of the total
amount,80% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring this money.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Gloria Kai.
