Re: Transfer of USD$21,395,000.00.
Dear sir,
In other to transfer US$21,395,000.00.(Twenty One Million Three
Hundred and Ninty Five Thousand United States Dollars Only). from our bank, I
have the courage to ask you to look for a reliable and honest person who will
be capable of this important business beliveing that you will not let me
down. I am Mr. Desmond Chimee. I am an auditor by profession. I
headed a team that audited the account of United Bank for Africa PLC
(UBA). There is anaccount opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990
nobody has operated on this account again. After an intensive
investigations,I discovered that if I do not find a way to get the
amount in question stacked out somewhere safe urgently it will be forfeited
for nothing.
The owner of this account, ENGR. SMITH U. WILLIAMS, a foreigner, the
manager of Petro- Technical Support Services, a chemical Engineer by
profession and he died in 1990 and no other person knows about this
account or any other beneficiary. My investigations rove to me as well
that this company does not know anything about this account and has no
attachment to the said amount. The amount involved is
US$21,395,000.00. (Twenty One Million Three Hundred and Ninty Five Thousand United
States Dollars Only). In the light of the fact, I need your assistance to
open your door to this opportunity by providing your account or any
account of your choice where the fund will be remitted. I want to transfer this
money into a safe foreigner's account abroad but I don't know any one
who could actually assist, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can only be approved to a foreign account because the
money is in US Dollars and the owner of the account ENGR. SMITH U. WILLIAMS
and a foreigner too. I know that this mail will come as surprise to you as
we don't know ourselves, but be sure that is for real. I got your
contact on the net believing that you will not let me down in this business. You
are the only person that I have contacted for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will let you know what steps to take next. Send
also your private telephone, fax and mobile number for easy communication
including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with
foreign account. I need your full co-operation to make this work out alright.
Your assistance as foreigner is necessary because the management of the
Bank is ready to welcome any person, a foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you immediately, if you are
interested to conclude this transaction with me. If your are capable
of handling such amount in strict confidence, keeping to my instructions
I need a sincere person for this venture because I don't want to make
mistake, I need your strong assurance that this money will be intact
pending my arrival in your country for sharing.
I will apply for annual leave immediately I hear from you
that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. This is to
enable me use my position and influence to effect legal approvals for
onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange department. At the
conclusion of this business, you will be given 25% of the total amount,
70% will be for us and 5%for any expenses incurred during the
transaction. I look forward to your earnest reply.
Yours truly,
DESMOND CHIMEE.
