Compliments of day to you, obviously this message might come as a surprise
to you, but please consider it as a high priority issue, which will definitely
change our destiny in God?s mighty name. I am Dr. Tambo Mbofana, the Chief
Bank Auditor of the Amalgamated Bank Of South Africa (ABSA BANK) for duration
of 15 years now.
There is a Draft Account opened in this bank in 1988 by a long-time client
of mine Mr. Smith Andre, who was a foreigner and a miner at Kruger Mining
Company, he was also a geologist for several other mining conglomerates in
Africa, before he passed away in 1990 due to severe cardiac arrest in a German
Hospital, leaving nobody as the next of kin or beneficiary of the money
after his death, As his financial auditor before his death, I am aware of
every details of his bank account from 1988-1990 when the last deposit was
made before his death. As a matter of fact the amountin this account is currently
twenty one Million Seven Hundred thousand United States Dolla (US$21,700,000.00)
waiting to be approved for immediate payment by the bank to any foreign account
holder with accurate details concerning this account from 1988 to 1990,
when the last deposit was made.
In other words No withdrawal or deposit has been made since 1990 to date
into this account.
I am contacting as foreigner because this money cannot be approved for payment
into any local account, but can only be approved to a foreign account because
it was insured and there is a clause in the depository agreement by the
Bank and Mr. Smith Andre which states that on No condition can any local
withdrawals be made from this account unless the money is transfer into anoverseas
foreign account, In effect withdrawals can be made only when the money has
transferred from the vaults of the bank to a foreign bank account.
If you are willing and capable of handling such amount in strict confidence
and trust according to my
instructions and advice for our mutual benefits,because this opportunity
will never come my way again I will use my position and influence to effect
legal approvals and onward transfer of this money into your nominated overseas
bank account with the appropriate clearance certificate from the Ministries
and Foreign Exchange Department.I will physically be in your country for
sharing as soon as you confirm the money into your overseas bank account,
but agreement will be signed by both parties concerning the sharing modalities
andinvestment projects to misunderstandings.
Finally, you should reply urgently by sending your account details with private
telephone and fax number .
Thanks and God Bless
Best Regards,
DR. Tambo Mbofana (Chief Auditor ABSA BANK)
