Subject: NEW MESSAGE
From Mr. Charles Mavikela
No:61 park Street,
Johannesburg South Africa.
Dear: Sir
We want to transfer out of the country the sum of sixty two Million United
States Dollars ($62,000,000.00) from Africa. I want to ask you to kindly
look for a reliable,capable and honest person who will be fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new bank account immediately
to receive this money,though an empty bank account or new account could
serve this purpose as long its valid and outside my country and more so that
you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business
trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either
now or in time to come.
I am Mr. Charles Mavikela, External auditor of a Bank.
The owner of this account who is,a foreigner and an industrialist died,
since 1990,until now no other person(s) knows about this account or could
give any documentary evidence concerning this account. As such this account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
until his death was the manager of his Company,here in South Africa.
However,if you are interested in this business we will start the first
transfer with Ten million U.S.Dollars($10,000,000.00)
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be
approved to a local account because since the original owner was a foreigner
too, thus the money could only be approved into a foreign account As a
matter of urgency,I will inform you the next step to take I need your full
co-operation to make this business a success,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 the instructions of a
key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down.With my
influence and my position in the bank 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. And to bui! ld confidence that you can come immediately to discuss
with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your
presence and we will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the
money going into the account.
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.
Yours truly,
Mr.Charles Mavikela
