the chief auditor Of AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA (ABSA). There is an
account open in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 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
Mr., Smith B Andréa’s a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold.co,a geologist
by profession and he died since 1990. 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 any
thing about this account and the amount involved is (USD 26M) twenty six
million united state dollars. I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved by a local bank here, but can only be
approved by a foreign account because the money is In us dollars and the

fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing
and other investment. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary.
