BUSINESS OFFER
GREETINGS,
I am looking for a reliable and trusted partner for a highly important and
lucrative business and investment.
I am Mr. Mayo Kennedy, a senior Accountant of AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH
AFRICA (ABSA). To highlight you on this proposal, there is an account opened
in this bank since 1990 and after the year 2000, nobody has operated on this
account again till date.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do
not remit this money out of South Africa urgently it would be forfeited for
nothing.
The owner of this account is Late Mr. Andreas Schranner, from Munich ,
Germany who died along with the entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.
Here is the website which I will appreciate you going through to read the
information.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation further proved to me
that his company does not know anything about this account and the amount
involved as he made it his personal account.
The money outstanding before his death was (USD 26 Million) Twenty Six
Million United States Dollars,
I am now contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be
approved to a national with a local bank account here, but can only be
approved to any foreign account because the money is in US dollars and the
former owner a foreigner and the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner, who has correct information of this account, which
I will make available to you immediately you show's your interested.
I implore you to act as foreigner and beneficiary to the fund as I will then
intimate you on the processes abound as well as procure all the necessary
documents required to lay claim to the money, If you are capable and willing
to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my
instructions and advice for our mutual benefit I shall highly appreciate.
I need trusted person in this business because I do not want to make
mistakes; I need your strong assurance and trust,
With my position now in the office I can effect transfer of this money to
any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that
this money will be intact pending my arrival in your country for
disbursement. On the alternative, you can come down here to South Africa for
us to meet one to one, to enable us sign a binding agreement.
As soon as you receive this money into a foreign account or any account of
your choice where the fund will be safe. I will proceed to your country for
onward percentage distributions and investment. I need your full
co-operation to make this work because the management of the bank is ready
to approve this payment to any foreigner, who has correct information of
this account, which I will make available to you immediately you show's
your interested.
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, for your assistance, 25% of the total
amount will be given to you, 70% for me, while 5% will be for expenses both
parties might have made during the process of the transfer.
I implore you to maintain the absolute confidentiality of this transaction.
Your earliest response is urgently awaited.
Mr. Mayo Kennedy
