Subject: CONFIDENTIAL

Greetings,
I am Mr. Roy Okoya the Auditor General of a Prime bank
in Africa. There Is an Account opened in this bank in
1997 and since 2002 no body has Operated on this
account again. After going through some old file 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 Dr.Phillip Morris , a
Foreigner and a miner at delth Gold Co, a geologist by
Profession. He died since 2001. 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 his company
does not know anything about his Account and the
amount involved is USD 36m) Thirty Six Million United
States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because the
bank is going to welcome you as a foreigner that has
correct information about the account, which I will
give to you before we proceed. I know that this
message will come to you as a surprise as we don't
know ourselves before, we will sign an agreement for
the legitimacy of the money before proceeding further.
I strongly believe in God that you will never let me
down in this business because you are the only person
i have contacted in this business. I need you’re full
cooperation to make this work fine.
If you are Capable to handle such amount in strict
confidence and trust we will achieve this money
immediately, because this opportunity might not Come
again in life. I will also use my Position to
Influence and affect legal approvals and immediate
onward transfer of this Money to Your account with
appropriate clearance from the ministries and Foreign
Exchange department. As soon as I hear your response I
will let you know your own percentage. I look forward
to your earliest reply in my private email
