ATTN THE DIRECTOR,
I got your contact via S.A.I.I.E.B.(South AfricanInternational Internet Exchange
Bureau) in the Johannesburg Chamber of Comerce and Indusrtry, while
I was searching for a reputable confidential and honest person to do business
together.
To be frankly and sincere in speaking, you are not the only one I got his contact,
but i want to contact you first in this transaction becouse i know that you wiil
be capable enough to handle this transaction perfectly with me.
However for the purpose of introduction, My name is MORGAN SCOTT the Chief auditor
of Alliance African Bnak Corp.
There is an account opened in this bank on 28august 2002,and sincethen nobody has
operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records,
I discovered that The owner of this account was Mr.Smith B.Andreas, a foreigner,and
a miner at Kruger gold co., a geologist by profession who died in a heart desease and since then No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,for the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation was as well proved to me that his company does not
also know anything about this account and the amount involved is
(USD$13.5M) Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because the money cannot be approved to a
local bank here, and the need to involve a foreigner with and foreign
beneficiar will give a full room for easy transfer of the aboved sum to your account.
If you are able and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit,then
With my powerful conection and of my collegues to the director general of the
reserves bank this transaction can not take two long to conclud, becouse
all the neccessary documentation needed for this transaction have been made available
with the board of the directors of the bank 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 safekeeping
and investment.
I will also like you to bear in mind that with our position and influence we have make
all availability to optain the 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 recieve a mutual compensation of 25% of
the total amount,while 5% will mapped out for any expenses and 70% will be for me and
my collegues.
If this proposal is acceptable to you then you need to furnish me with your bank
information and your private mobile phone and your fax number.
Thanks as I wait to hear from you.
MORGAN SCOTT.
