cDear Sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 64,000.000.00 USD) Sixty four million
United States Dollars) from National Credit Bank (NCB) of South 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.MATTEW KAMPALA, the Auditor General in National Credit Bank (NCB)
of South Africa, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1993 and since 1999 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. Jurgen
T.Dormann, a foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1999. 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
Jurgen T.Dormann until his death was the Jurgen T.Dormann Coy. (pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty four million [$24,000.000.00]
upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount of ($ 40,000.000.00
USD) to your account.
The amount involved is ($ 64,000.000.00 USD) Sixty four million United States
Dollars, only I want to first transfer $24,000.000.00 [twenty four 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.Jurgen T.Dormann 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 South Africa chamber of commerce, 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 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 relevant
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total amount,
55% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply to phone and fax number below or [mattewkampala@yada-yada.com]

MR.MATTEW KAMPALA.
