(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Dear sir/madam,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00USD) One hundred and
Fifty two million United StatesDollars) from a Bank in 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 solomon mudani, the Auditor General of a bank in 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. Arthur Coleman , a foreigner, and an
Industrialist, who died since 1993 and no other person knows about this account or
anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that Arthur Coleman until his death was the
manager of Coleman Coy.(pty). SA. We will start the first transfer with fifty
twomillion [$52,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining
amount to your account.The amount involved is (USD 152M) One hundred and Fifty two million
United States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $52,000.000 [fifty two
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 a 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. Arthur Coleman is a foreigner too, [and the money canonly be approved into a foreign a/c. However, we will sign a binding
agreement, to bind us together. I got your contact address from my Secretary 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 on the next step to take urgently. Send also your private
telephone and fax numbers 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 thispayment 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 instructions 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 you are ready to actand receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to
your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and
foreign exchange departments. 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 the process of transfering.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
MR solomon mudani.
