(URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL)
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($56,000.000.00 USD)
(FIFTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)
Dear sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($56,000.000.00 USD) Fifty six million
United States Dollars) from Co-operative Bank Of Africa, I want to ask you
to quietly 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 a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive
this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this
important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr Joseph Mark, the Auditor General of Co-operative Bank Of Africa ,
during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 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] 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 is Mr. Keith Lathan
Coulter,a foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. and
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 Mr. Keith Lathan Coulter until his death was the manager of Diamond
Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with twenty six million [$26,000.000] upon
successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account, The
amount involved is (USD 56M) Fifty six million United States Dollars, only I
want to first transfer $26,000.000 [twenty six million United States Dollars
from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can not be approved to a local person here, without valid
international foreign passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign a/c
because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Keith
Lathan Coulter is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be approved into
a foreign a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together I got your
contact address from the Girl who operates computer, I am revealing this to
you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business,
you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this
business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently.
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 to build confidence and to sign a binding
agreement that will bind us together before transferring the money to any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your
country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine. 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
instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business. I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me
down.
With my influence and the position of the bank official 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.
The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we
receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you
can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make
this remittance in your presence and three 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 to get visa immediately I hear from you that

this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries and foreign exchange departments.

amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring. I will send you all my
