Before I introduce myself, .I wish to inform you that this letter is
not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. We want to
transfer to an oversea account ($10,000.000.00 USD) Ten Million United
States Dollars) from a security company in Africa. I want to
ask you, If you are not capable to quietly 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 a/c 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 .
I am Mr calvin stone an accountant, During the course of our auditing
last year,we discovered a dormant account opened in the bank 1998 and
nobody has operated on these accounts since 2000. After going through
some old files in the records,I discovered that the owner of one of
the accounts was dead. The owner of this account Mr. Morris Thompson
an American and great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crahsed on January 31 2000,including his wife and
only daughter leaving nobody as nest of kin. You shall read more news
about the crash on visiting thissite:
(<<<<<<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/>>>>>>)
The account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me
as well that the account is a secret account. The total amount
involved is ten million united States Dollars only [$10,000.000.00]
and we wish to transfer this money into a safe foreigners account
abroad. But I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person
here, but to a foreigner who has information about the account,which I
shall give to you upon your positive response.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let
me down in this .I guarantee that this transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law.All documents of transaction will be destroyed immediately
we receive this money,leaving no trace to any place. I will use my
position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your norminated account with appropriate
clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign
exchange departments. At the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 25% of the total amount,70% will be for us, while 5% will be for
expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of
transferring. I look forward to your earliest reply.
PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET,TIME IS OF UTMOST
ESSENCE,ANY OTHER INFORMATIONS WILL BE RELEASED FOR YOU UPON REQUEST
PLEASE RELPY VIA --- calst101@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
