FOR YOUR ATTENTION ONLY .
Dear Good Friend,
In order to transfer out Twenty eight million two
hundred thousands us dollars.($28.2m). from our bank,
i have the courage to ask for your assistance in
providing me a RELIABLE and HONEST person who will
be capable for this important business believing that
you will not let me down either now or in the future,
I am Mr.Donald Colly chief accountant in one of the
leading bank here in Dakar Senegal.There is an account
opened in this bank in 2002 and since 2003 nobody has
operated on this account again.After going through
some old files in the records i discovered that if i
do not remitt this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr.Smith B, Andreas,
A foreigner, and themanager of Petro-Technical Support
Service.A chemical engineering by profession and he
died in auto crash and since then 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,His company
does not know anything about this account and the
amount involved is Twenty eight million two hundred
thousands us dollars.($28.2m).
I want to transfer this money into a safe foreigners
account abroad but i don't know any foreigner because
this money can not be approved to a local bank here,
but can only approved to any foreign account because
the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the
account is Mr.Smith B,Andreas and is a foreigner too.
I know that this massage will come to you as a surprise
as we don't know ourselves before, But be assured that
it is real and a genuine business,I only got your
contact address from the computer with believe in God
that you will never let me down in this business,So
please reply urgently so that i will inform you the
next step to take urgently.
I want us to see 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 remitted.And i
will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing
and other investments.I am contacting you because of
the needs to invole a foreigner with foreign account
and foreign beneficiary. I need your 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 ability 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 truthfull person in this business
because i don't want to make mistake,i need your strong
assurance and trust.
With my positon now in the office i can transfer this
money to any foreigner reliable account that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in
your country for sharing.
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 entitle for 18% of the total amount,80% for me,
while 2% will be for expenses both parties might have
incured during the process of transferring.
I am looking forward for your earliest reply.
Thanks.
Mr.Donald Colly
