Dear friend,
I am Mr.David Bewy, the Chief Auditor of African Development Bank (ADB).
There was an account opened in this bank in 1983 and since 1989 nobody has
operated on this account till date.After my long investigation to my greatest
suprise I came to find out that the owner of the account who is Mr. Smith
B. Andreas, a foreigner,crude oil exporter,who died in 1990.This account
has no beneficiary, infact no other person knows about this account or anything
about the account, and my investigation proved to me as well that this company
does not exist anymore in NIgeria. The amount involved is USD 52M, which
i seek your consent to transfer to a safe foreign account. I do not know
any foreigner that I can trust either than you, I am only contacting you
as a foreigner because the rightful owner of the account (Mr. Smith) is
a foreigner.I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we do
not know each other before hand. we will be needed to sign an Agreement
as a security so that we cannot betray the trust that will be given to each
other in this legitimate and joint venture, which demand utmost secrecy
and confidential.I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with foreign account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation
for us to have a successful transaction. 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 immediately I receive your positive
reply. With my position now in the office I can authorise the immediate
transfer of this money to any foreign reliable account which you can provide
with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival
in your country for sharing and further investment. I will destroy all documents
used in this transaction immediately we must have transferred this money
to your nominated account sucessfully, so as to avoid any document trace
by any person.I will apply for annual leave to get visa to your country
immediately you confirm me that you are willing to assist me. I will also
use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer
of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries
and foreign exchange departments.At the conclusion of this business, you
will be given 20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, while 5% will
be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.
Awaiting your urgent reply and please do not FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR PRIVATE
FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
Thank you and God bless.
Best regards,
Mr David Bewy.
