************************************************
Hello Dear,
It is my great pleasure&honour to contact you in this feasible &
realistic business transaction.We want to transfer to overseas the
sum of One hundredand Twenty six million United States Dollars
{$126,000.000.00
USD} from South Africa.
I want to ask you to kindly 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 account immediately to receive this
money,though an empty bank account could serve this purpose as long
as 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.Morris Cole the external auditor of a Bank.
During the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in
an
account opened in the bank in 1995 and since 2000 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 apparent to the throne 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 who is Mr.William.E.Caswell, a foreigner
and an industrialist died, since 1995,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 Mr.William.E.Caswell until his death he was
the manager of petrol chemical service company in South Africa,a
chemical engineer by proffession.
However,if you are interested in this business we will start the
first money transfer with Twenty six million U.S.Dollars
[$26,000.000]upon successful transaction without any
disappointment
from you We shall also re-apply for the payment of the remaining
amount to your account.
However,knowing all this, we will reach a binding agreement in this
regards.As a matter of urgency,I will inform you the next step to
take,while you Send your private telephone and fax number including
the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
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 this process.
Contact me urgently for further detail through my email.
Cordinally Yours,
Mr.Morris Cole.
