DEAR FRIEND,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not
met. Please permit me, We want to transfer to overseas $32.7,000,000
(Thirty-Two Million Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollar) from a Bank in
South Africa, I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest
person if you cannot who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this
money, even an empty account 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 that you will never let me down either now or in
future.
I am MR. LUCAS K.. MONTERSORRI. the Auditor General of a bank in South
africa, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund
in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 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 Authur Woodrow, a foreigner, and also he was the Executive Director
of the Gold Mining Cooportion he died in a plane crash with the family on
the way to summer holidays in Egypt, since 1993,no other person knows about
this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved that to me. I made several efforts through
the his Embassy to contact any of the deceased family relatives,but to no
avail. Failure to reach any of the deceased family relatives, the option left
for the bank management is to declare the deceased account dormant and to
revert the funds on trading and investment in the interest of the bank.
The amount involved is $32.7,000,000(Thirty-Two Million Seven hundred
Thousand United States Dollar)only and we want to transfer this money
into a safe foreigners account abroad, but I don't know any foreigner.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a local person here, without a valid International
foreignpassport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid
international passport or drivers license and foreign account because
the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the account Mr
Authur Woodrow is a foreigner too, and the money can only be approved
into a foreign account. I am revealing this to you with believe 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. N/B an Empty account that is vaild
can still serve for this proposal or you can set up a New account for this
same proposal.
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. I have made a done a perfect homework in all
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make and guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I need
your strong assurance that you will neverlet me down. With my influence
and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to any
bank of your choice. I have done a perfect homework in all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make and guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Kindly ensure to treat this matter in strict privacy
(highly confidential)because of its nature.
Thanks, I await your urgent response.

MR. LUCAS K. MONTERSORRI
