ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address:(barr_ibrahim_bello@yahoo.com
Dear sir,
We want to transfer to overseas account ($ 126,000.000.00 USD) One
hundred and twenty six million United States Dollars) from a central
Bank in ghana.
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 serve to receive this money, as long asyou 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 Barrister ibrahim bello, the Auditor General of one of the central
banks here ghana, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993
nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old
files in 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 Mr. Allan P.Seaman, a foreigner, and an industrialist, and
he died, since 1993. 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 Allan P. Seaman until his death
was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with twenty six million [$26,000.000]
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 amount involved is (USD 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million
United States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $26,000.000
[Twenty six 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 Mr. Allan P.
Seaman 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. I got
your contact address from the Girl who operates my computer, 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 before transferring the
money to any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. 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 the position of the bank official we can transfer
this money to any foreigner's reliable account which 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 come immediately to
discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in
your presence and three 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 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 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.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
