Attn,
RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000. 00
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business having gone
through your remarkable profile on the internet. Though, this medium (Internet)
has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence
is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and
trouble free to both parties. My name is Mr Richard Duke, I work as the
operational manager in account management section in charge of credit and
foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. On a routine
inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a Balance Of
US$48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight million two hundred and twenty three thousand
U.S dollar).On further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the
account holder has died long ago with his family on a fatal Auto-accident
leaving no beneficiary to the account and no other person knows about this
account.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who is my partner
and he is willing to approve the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy
foreigner with foreign bank account because the former operator of the a/c
is a foreigner and from Australia in particular. I am certainly sure that
he has no writen or oral WILL attached to the account , no beneficiary and
nobody will come again for the claim of this money. It is only a foreigner
who can claim this money with legal claims to the account holder which I
will provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need your cooperation
in this transaction. The difference in country of origins is not a hindrance
to the
success of this transaction. This money will remain useless in this dormant
account if I did not transfer the fund out to a foreign account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents needed in order to
claim this money. I only need your cooperation as a foreigner to provide
your safe bank account information for the transfer. All arrangement that
will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the account which you are to
nominate is already in place.You should also provide me with your direct
phone lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost confidentiality in
handling this transaction.
At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be 25% of the total
transfer sum, 70% for me and my partner while 5% will be set aside for any
expenses both parties might incure during the process of the transfer. The
fund will be transferred to your account in two parts. I will first transfer
USD 20 Million to your account. I will fly over to meet you after the successful
transfer for sharing according to the agreed percentages. I will have the
remaining balance of USD28,223 Million transferred to your account only
after the successful sharing of the first transfer without any disappointment
from your side.
Let me hear from you URGENTLY.
Best Regards,
Richard Duke
