Dear Friend,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time goes on incase you are willing to assist me in making this proposal a reality,we will now probably meet in person.
We want to transfered to overseas account ($25,000.000.00 USD) Twenty-five million United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank here in London, I want to ask you, If you can 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 serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in London, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 2001 nobody has operated on this account again,after going thro ugh some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] 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 PEDRO F. HASLER a foreigner, a great industrialist and he died since 2001.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 until his death he was the manager GOLD ARK [pty].Australia.
We will start the first transfer with Twelve million [$12,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your Account.
The total amount involved is Twenty Five million United States Dollars only [$25,000.000.00]. I want to first transfer $12,000.000.00 [Twelve million United States Dollar] 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 Person here, without valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign A/C because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the a/c is a foreigner too, and the money can only be approved into a foreign A/C.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together when we meet face to face after the first transfer of $12Million before transferring the second part of $13 Million. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. 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 to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together immediately after the first transfer before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments .
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 upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down.
With my influence and my position in the bank the bank official can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account that you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official Will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you can call me for heart to heart discussion through my private satellite phone which I secured for the security and safety of this business as you know that this business is confidential.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.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transfer. I look forward to your earliest reply through this email address
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly
John Briggs.
Be aware that you are not going to spend any money of yours in this transaction as I have a financier who is going to give you some money that we shall use to finance this transaction.
