Subject: Please Contact Me Urgently From S.Norman.
Greetings From Solomon Norman.
writing to seek your consent in a private and confidential matter regarding
some funds unaccounted for in my bank here in South Africa during the last
2005 business year. I need assistance from a
trustworthy and reliable person whom I will fill in as the beneficiary.
Your major role would be to provide either an existing bank account or to
set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money and get 30% of
the total funds as commission. There are practically no risks involved, the
transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect us from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank
transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the beneficiary of
these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can
order the transfer to your designated bank account under few working days.
I am Mr. Solomon Norman, the regional manager of AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK
(AFDB), and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with five
lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send in financial
report to my head office in the capital city at the end of each business
year. On the course of the last year 2005 business report, I discovered the
sum of Twenty six million eight hundred and fifty thousand united state
dollars 26,850,000.00 belonging to a foriengn Industrialist Kenneth Gardner
who died without a beneficiary, in my branch in which I am the manager.Our
head office is not aware of and will never be aware of it.
I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no
beneficiary and as an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to
this money, hence i contacted you. If you accept to work with me I will
appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am
contacting for this transaction.
We will start the first transfer with sixteen million Dollars,upon
successful transaction without any disappointment from your side,we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account.At this
juncture i wish to tell you what prompted me to package this deal. I have a
9-year old daughter who has leukemia,disease of the blood, and she needs a
bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this transplanting to be done
in any good childrens hospital in your country if there is one.
Once this fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign from my job
and bring my family to start a new life in your country.I would be grateful
if you would help me in looking out for good investment oppurtunities with
my own part of the money in a very profitable business. I have worked for
this bank for the past 15 years yet I have nothing to show for it, I really
need your assistance to secure this fund as soon as possible.
send me mail:<solomonorman@latinmail.com> as soon as you receive this
message if you think we can work together, so that we can go over the
details. Send also your Private Mobile and fax numbers for a more proper
elaboration.
Truly yours,
Mr Solomon Norman.
