CONFIDENTIAL
From:Mr Davison Ibe,

Please forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise
I got your contact from a database found in internet while searching for
a reliable and honest person that will assist me to execute a divine project.

I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the
Internet database. After series of prayers and fasting for Gods direction.


I want to transfer ($125,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred &
Twenty five million United States Dollars from a Prime Bank here in South
Africa to an oversea account. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence
in this transaction.

This is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure
and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction

of this great magnitude.

I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your
safe account for unward investment.You can either provide us with
an existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive
this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long
as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important
business trusting in you and believing that you will never let me down
either now or in future.

I am the personal account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who has
an account in one of the top banks here in South Africa. The account was
opened in 1998 and he died in 2003 without a written or oral WILL and since
2003 nobody has operated on this account again 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 is a foreigner and no other person knows about
this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the manager of the company.My Investigation through
the National immigration department proved to me as well that he was single
as at the time of his entry into the Republic of
South Africa. The amount in this account is USD$125 Million ( One Hundred
& Twenty five Million United States Dollars ) only.


As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment.
Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the
bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct
information to this account which I will give to you immediately, if you
are interested to do this business with me.There is no risk in this business.
With my position and my personal contact with the manager of the bank,
the money can be transferred to any account you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country
for sharing.


We will start the first transfer with Twenty five million [$25,000.000].
Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side,
we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of $100 Million
to your account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can not be approved to a local person here, but can only be
approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of the account
which I will provide for you.

So you should provide me with your correct account detail where you will
like the fund to be transferred or you can set up a new account for the
transfer even an empty account is ok. At the conclussion of the
transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any expenses both parties incurred
in the process of this business and the remaining 60% will be for me As
soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance that you will
not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will then start the
processing of the transfer of the fund to your account without further
delay.

Contact me urgently via telephone or email for further
details.


Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Davison Ibe.
