(Auditor Manager)
MEMO
Dear Sir/Madam,
With great pleasure I am writing this proposal on behalf of my partners. A member of our government trade delegation to your country gave your impeccable profile to me. Hence I have decided to seek your cooperation, due to the sensitivity of this transaction and my commitment as a civil servant. I am Mr.Johann Azizi. An Auditor Manager in my Bank. In South Africa. There is an account opened in this Bank in 1990 and since 2000 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 would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is DR. H. PAUL JACOBI, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Co. A Geologist by profession and he died since 199
9. In an air crash along with his wife in 31st October died since 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below from publisher by CNN.WEBSITEPUBLISHEDONCNN.

No other person know about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved To me as well that his company does not know anything about this account, and the amount involved is
(US$ 14.5) Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot 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 DR. H. PAUL JACOBI is a foreigner too. Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit, since our period of disengagement from the civil service is near.
We are presently affected by the South Africa civil service code of conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from operating private foreign accounts. I have the authority of my partners in office to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your compensation shall be discuss.
This transaction is 100% risk free provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Furthermore, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.
Kindly contact me through my email address,your response to indicate your willingness in assisting us.
Thank you,
My sincere Regards
Mr. Johann Azizi.
