ATTENTION: DIRECTOR / CEO.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we don't know
each other before, but for purpose of introduction, I am DR.BRUCE B RADABE,
the Chief auditor of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB). There is an account
opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated on this
account again. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be
fofeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner
at Kruger gold co., a geologist by profession and he died since 1990. No
other person knows about this account or any concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is
(USD36.5Million United States Dollars)
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is in U.S dollars and the former owner of the
account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner too. We will sign an
agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine business. Please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. 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 or sign a
binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money
into a foreign account or any account of our choice where the fund will be
safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and
sharing and other investments.
I am contacting you because of the need of a foreigner with foreign account
and foreign beneficiary. 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 later, if you are willing and capable to handle such amount in strict
confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual
benefit because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need
truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake, I
need your strong assurance and trust.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
Foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country or sharing.
I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this
money leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me
face to face after which Iwill make this remittance in your presence and two
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 keeps this fund in your account. I will 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 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me for investment in your
coutry which you will equally guide me, and while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my telephone number and my
private email above.or below (rabrucadaby@epatra.com )
Yours truly,
DR.BRUCE B RADABE.
