Attn: MD/C.E.O,
In order to transfer out (US$10M) Ten million United States
Dollars) from ABSA Bank. I have the courage to ask you to
look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable
for this important business believing that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
I am SUE BENARD, the Chief auditor of ABSA Bank, there is an
account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 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 this account is Mr. SMITH BERNARD ANDREAS, a
foreigner, and a miner at kruger gold co., a geologist by
profession and he died since 1990. 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 this company does not know anything about this
account and the total amount involved is (USD 126M) One
hundred and twenty six million United States Dollars million
dollars.
I want to firstly transfer US$10(Ten million United
States Dollars) from this money into a safe foreigners
account abroad before the rest, but I don't know any
trustworthy foreigner. 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 owner of the
account, Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as
we don't know ourselves before. But be informing that we
will sign, an agreement as I don't know you but still
believe in your honorable self that you will not betray me
after the successful completion of this real and a genuine
transfer. I got your contact address from my secretary who
operates computer; with believe in God that you will never
let me down in this business.
However, you are the only person that I have contacted in
this business; so 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 to sign a binding agreement which will bind us
together before you could receive this money into your
foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund
will be safe, I will fly to your country for withdrawal,
sharing and other investments options.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account and foreign identity. I need
your full co-operation to make this transfer work out
successfully because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner, who has correct information of
this account, which I promise to provide to you immediately,
if you are able and assure me your capability to handle this
project in strict confidence and trust according to my
instructions for our mutual benefit because this opportunity
will never come again in my life. Your sincerity is highly
require in this business because I do not want to a mistake
that could make me loose this money, I need your strong
assurance and trust, please.
Meanwhile, beforming that, with my position now in the
office I can transfer this money to any reliable foreign
account, which you could 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 which I will make this remittance in your
presence, two of us will fly to your country at least two
days ahead of the transfer.
Also, 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. Further, I will use my position and
influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of
this money to your bank account with appropriate clearance
documents from the ministries and foreign exchange
departments.
Finally, at the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during
the process of transferring.
