Attention,
We want to transfer to overseas ($36,000.000.00 USD) Thirty six million
United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa,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 Mr Vickram Williams,the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here
in South Africa, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 2000 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.Arthur Coleman, a foreigner, and an industrialist,
and he died, since 1999. and no other person knows about this account or
any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me as well that Mr. Arthur Coleman until his death was the manager
Diamond Safari [pty].SOUTH AFRICA.
We will start the first transfer with sixteen million [$16,000.000] upon
successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account.
The amount involved is (USD 36 M)Thirty six million United States Dollars
only. I want to first transfer $16,000.000 [Sixteen million United States
Dollar] 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 any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign a/c because
the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Arthur Coleman
is a foreigner too,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 through the research i made in the South Africa chambers
of commerce internet bureau {N.C.C.I.B}.I am revealing this to you with
believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. 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 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 instruction
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 influenceand 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 to get visa 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 25% of the total amount,
65% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during the process of transferring, while 2% for charity, as a
mark of God's gratitude for the blessing.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my personal contact:vickramwilliams2000@yahoo.ca

Mr.Vickram Williams
