CITI BANK PLC,
LONDON ENGLAND.
Dear Sir,
We want to transfer to overseas (+ACQ-
65000.000.00 Pounds) Sisty five million Pounds only) from a
Bank in London, 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 Dr.Williams Auditor General of a
bank in London, during the course of our auditing, I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1999 and since 2002 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 +AFs-heir+AF0- 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 Micheal Brown, a
foreigner, and an Industrialist, who died since 2000
and no other person knows about this account or
anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Micheal Brown until his death was the manager
of Brown Coy.(pty). CI.
We will start the first transfer with two million
+AFsAJA-2,000.000+AF0- upon successful transaction
without any disappointment from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to
your account.
The amount involved is (65M Pounds) Sisty five million
pounds only. I want to first transfer +ACQ-5,000.000
+AFs- five million pounds 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 a
foreigner with valid international passport or
drivers license and foreign a/c because the money is
in Pounds currency and the former owner of the a/c Mr.
Micheal Brown is a foreigner too, +AFs-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 my
Secretary who operates computer. 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 on the
next step to take urgently. Send also your private
telephone and fax numbers including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence
and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe
before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing
and investments.
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 instructions 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
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 35+ACU- of the total amount, 60+ACU- will be for
me,
while 5+ACU- will be for expenses both parties might
have
incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply
Dr.Williams
