(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
ATTENTION:THE CEO,
I am Mr. Mark John. the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here
South Africa, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund
in an account opened in the bank in 1995 and since 1998 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. Allan P.Seaman, a foreigner, and an
industrialist, and he died, since 1996. 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 Allan P. Seaman until his death was the
manager Diamond Safari [pty]. S.A.
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 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million United
States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty six million
United States Dollar] 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. Allan P.
Seaman is a foreigner too,and themoney can only be approved into a foreign
a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together.
I got your contact through the research I made in the south african
chambers of commerce internet bureau{S.A.C.C.I.B}I am revealing this to you with
believe in God that you will neverlet me down in this business. 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 you are
ready to act and 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 relevan t
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 20% of the total
amount, 70% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring, while 2% for charity, as a
mark of God's gratitude for the blessing.
I look forward to your earliest reply.

Mr.Mark John
