VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear madam/sir
We want to transfer to overseas the sum of One hundred
and Forty Two Million United States Dollars
(U.S.$142,000,000.00) from Africa.
I want to ask you to kindly 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 account immediately to receive this money,
though an empty bank account could serve this purpose
as long as you will remain honest to me till the end
of this important business trusting in you and
believing in God that you will never let me down
either now or in time to come.
I am IDARIPAUL,the external auditor of a Bank.During
the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and
since 1993 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 ?eir apparent to the throne?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 who is Mr.Eshed.B.Willey,
a foreigner and an industrialist died, since
1990,until now no other person(s) knows about this
account or could give any documentary evidence
concerning this account. As such this account has no
other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as
well that Eshed.B.Willey until his death was the
manager Oriental Diamond Company,in South Africa.
However, if you are interested in this business we
will start the first money transfer with Forty Two
Million U.S.Dollars(U.S.$42,000,000.00) upon
successful transaction without any disappointment from
you. We shall also re-apply for the payment of the
remaining amount to your account.
While the total amount involved is One hundred and
Forty Two Million United States Dollars
(U.S.$142,000,000.00)only. I would want us to make
a first transfer of [Forty Two Million United States
Dollar.(U.S.$42,000,000.00)from this money into a safe
Foreigners account abroad before the rest. I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can
not be approved to a local account, without valid
international foreign ?greement? but could only be
approved to any foreigner with valid international
credentials: passport or drivers license and foreign
account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and
the former owner of the account Mr.Eshed.B.Willey is a
foreigner too, thus the money could only be approved
into a foreign account.
However, knowing all this, we will reach a binding
agreement in this regards.
As a matter of urgency, I will inform you the next
step to take, while you Send 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 business a success, 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
the instructions of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business. I need your strong
assurance that you will never let me down.
With my influence and the position in the bank
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.
And to build confidence that 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 as directed.
To prove the authenticity of the business 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,
foreign exchange departments, embassy and Board of
Internal Revenue Services.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me,
while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during this process.
I look forward to your earliest reply through
my email address. : at_at_202@myway.com
