Dear Friend,
In order to transfer out (USD6M) 6 million United States Dollars) from From A bank here in London. I have the courage to ask you if you are capable, reliable and honest to assist us with this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am Mr. Lucas George, Chief Auditor of the banks where the fund is deposited.There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 and since then nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Bill Andre as a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold co., a geologist by profession, and he died since 1998.He opened a non-residential U.S dollar bank account. Since then 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 this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States.
I want to first transfer US6,000,000:00 Six million United States Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest is transferred, but I don't have any foreign partner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to any other person other than the next of kin. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do not know ourselves before now; we will then sign an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine business transaction. I only got your contact address from International Business Directory; with believe in God that you will never let me down in this proposed business. You are the only person that I have contacted in this regard, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you of the next step to take immediately.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 or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money into a any reliable account of your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and other investments opportunities as well.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiaries need your full co-operation to make this work, because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account which I will provide to you later. Furthermore, with my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and two 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 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 effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and foreign exchange departments .At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30 of the total amount,65 will be for me, while 5 will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the course of this transaction. Lastly, if you are interested in assisting in this transaction, kindly respond . I look forward to your earliest reply.
Mr.Lucas George
