ATTN: (HANDLE THIS INFORMATION IMPORTANTLY)
Dear,
I hereby contact you personally concerning the Situation in my bank. In
order to transfer out {us$34,000,000} Thirty Four Million us dollars, I have
the courage to look for a Reliable and honest person who will be capable for
This important business believing that you will never Let me down either now
or in future.
I am Dr. Kamborra Ahmed, the Regional computing auditor of (STANDARD BANK OF
SOUTH AFRICA) JOHANNESBURG BRANCH (SBG). There is an account opened in this
bank in 1985 and since 1992 nobody has operated on this account again. After
going through some old files in the records I discovered that if I do not
remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing according to
South Africa laws and act of 1993,the money will be revert this country
government treasury after 15 years if there is no valid claim.
I need a foreign partner that will present as a relative to this late man. I
concluded to transfer this money overseas for proper investment that will
benefit me. The owner of this account is Mr. Daniel B. Jones, a foreigner,
and a Miner at Kruger Gold Co. a geologist by profession and he died since
1992. 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 this company does not know anything about this account and the
amount involved is $34,000,000 Thirty Four million dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be
approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the
account is Mr. Daniel B Jones, who is a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know
ourselves before, we will sign agreement, but be sure that it is real. I
only got your contact address from my secretary during a normal routine
search, I believe in God that you will never let me down in this business,
you are the only person that I have contacted in this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently.
Send also your private telephone and fax number.
I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us
together so that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe. I am contacting you
because of the need to involve a foreigner as the beneficiary. 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 later immediately, if you are able and
capable to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my
instructions and advice for our mutual benefit. I need a truthful person in
this business because I don't want to make mistake and I need your strong
assurance and trust.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place. you can
also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this
remittance in your presence. I will use my position and influence to effect
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 be given 50% of
the total amount, 50% is for me and my family, I look forward to your
earliest reply through my email address.
Yours truly,
Dr. Kamborra Ahmed,
