RE:TRANSFER OF (36,000.000.00 MILLION USD)
(THIRTY SIX MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLAR)

Dear Future partner,

My name is Dr Gomi Kimbangala,and I work in the
International Operation Department in a Bank here in
South Africa. On a routine inspection I discovered a
dormant domiciliary account with a BAL. Of
(36,000,000.00 (Thirty Six Million USD) on further
discreet investigation, I also discovered that the
account holder has long since passed away (dead)
leaving no beneficiary to the account.

The bank will approve this money to any foreigner
because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner
and from Iraq in particular and I am certainly sure
that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the
claim of this money A foreigner can only claim this
money with legal claims to the account Holder,
therefore I need your cooperation in this
transaction.

I will provide the necessary information needed in
order to claim this money, But you will need to open
an account where this can be transferred. If
interested send your private Telephone No. And Fax
number including full details of the account to be
used for the Deposit I wish for ultmost confidentiality
in handling this transaction as my job and the future
of my family would be jeopardized if it were breached.

I want to assure you that the transaction is without
risk if due process is followed accordingly.

So the most important thing to do now,is for you to
send your private telephone and fax number including
the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.

AND YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NO..............,As the
need may arise either to call you in the day or night
as ocassion warrants.

N.B:{NOTICE BOARD} Any a/c can serve to receive this
money,be it a newly opened a/c or the one you have
before {existing}can serve to receive this
fund,provided that the A/C is valid and can carry
up-to the said amount,but more prefarabally,the newly
opened A/C.

You should also note that,At the conclusion of this
business, you will be given 25% of the total amount,
70% will be for me,while 5% will be for expenses both
parties might have incurred during the process of
transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply.

Yours In Business,

Dr Gomi Kimbangala
