How is the condition of health together with your family and others over there,
I hope you all are healthy. Please I know that this message will come to you as
a surprise since we don't know each other before.
But for purpose of introduction, I am Dr Morton Lowel, The Bank Manager
of AMALGAMATED BANK OF ABIDJAN IVORY D COAST (ABAIC).
There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1991 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 the account is PRINCE BANDER BIN SAUD, a foreigner
and a miner at Kruger gold co., a geologist by profession and he died since 1998,
please visit the web of all the people that died on the aircraft.

the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to
me as well that his company does not know anything about this account.
And the amount involved is (USD 10 M) Ten million United States dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot 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 PRINCE BANDER BIN SAUD is a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as
we don't know ourselves before. We will sign an agreement,
but be sure that it is real and a genuine business.
Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take immediately. 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 or sign a binding
agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money
into a foreign account or any account of your choice where
the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for
withdrawal and sharing and other investments. I need your
full co-operation to make this work fine because the manager
is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner,
who has correct information of this account, which
I will give you later immediately, if you are capable
and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence
and trust according to my instructions and advice for
our mutual benefit. Because this opportunity may 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 whom
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 25% of
the total amount, 70% will be for me, and while 5% will be
for any expenditure for both parties that might incurred
during the process of this transaction.
