Attn:
{RE: TRANSFER OF US$148.223 MILLION} ONE HUNDRED & FORTY EIGHT MILLION
TWO HUNDRED & TWENTY THREE THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS ONLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT}
I am Dr. Neuman Frost, the operational manager in account management
section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here
in Johannesburg City South Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign
customer of my bank. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and audting in the bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foregner who died
in plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with the bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution.
The total amount involved is 148,223,000.00 USD. [One Hundred and Forty
eight million,two hundred and twenty three thousand United States Dollar].
We wish to start the first transfer with $28,000,000.00[Twenty Eight
million].
As it may interest you to know,I got your contact through international
business enquiry as I was making contact of an foreign partner that will
assist me to bring this deal to be a success. I beleive you will be viable
and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives/needed
information will be released to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great
business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn account
and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to
the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to
be re-transfered into on his request as it may be,after due verification and
clarification by designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification,
while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that arise during the
time of transfer such as telephone bills etc, while 60% will be for me and
my partners.
Please,you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service
and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I
will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account.
And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either
in your country or any other country you may advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I
suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this
deal.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Neuman.
