RE:TRANSFER OF $US15.5M INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
In order to transfer out (USD 15.5 M) fifteen million five hundred
thousand United States Dollars) from A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY,name
withheld for safety and other security reasons,in a consignment in disguise
as private antiques and precious stones.I have the courage to ask for your
co-operation,assistance and understanding in this profitable and lucrative
proposal.
I am MR.CHRIS MOYO, married and blessed with four children , born in the
northern province of South Africa, also the director of deposite and realse
operations in my firm here in Johannesburg
Republic of South Africa.The deal in nutshell, there is a consignment
deposited in my firm in the year 2000, since the year 2001, nobody has paid
any security dummurrage on this very consignment,despite the initial
security bill which was paid for a year,which only covers the bill for 2001
only.
After going through some old files in my possession for the year ended 2004.
I observed that this very consignment has overstayed without any body
showing interest of claim or ownership,i was
obliged to open the vault to actually know the content,suprisely the vault
was filled with real
cash,hence i discovered that if I do not realse or remmitte this vault out
urgently it would be forfeited for nothing. However,the owner of this
consignment is Mr.Smith B.Andreas, a foreigner, and miner at Kruger Gold
company, a geologist by profession and he died in April 2001.No other person
knew about this deposite or any thing concerning to this effect, the vault
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that my
company does not know
anything about this vault and the amount involves is (USD15.5 M) fifteen
million five hundred thousand United States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to an indigine of South Africa , but can only be approved to any
foreign account because the money is in united states dollars and the
former owner of the vault was Mr.Smith Andreas a foreigner too. I know that
this message will come to you as a surprise as we dont know ourselves
before. We will sign a mutual agreement,this will bind us legally, but be
sure that it is real and a transperent business.I only got your contact
address through network online, with believe in God that you will never let
me down
in this business. You are the only person that I have contacted in this
business; so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the proceeding
steps to be taken immediately.
Send also your private telephone and fax numbers details of the transfer
will commence also as soon as i recieve your positive answer, the full
details of the account to be used for the transfer of the money will be
required and expected of you. I will appreciate to have a meeting with you
physically,this meeting will enhance and enable for the signing of the legal
binding agreement,this is to bind us together as i earlier said, so that you
can receive this money into your foreign account or any offshore account of
your choice where the fund will be safer.
Also I will fly to your country for the withdrawal and sharing subsequently
for my investment arrangenments under your directives.I am contacting you
because of the urgent need involved a foreign account and foreign
beneficiary as you can see. I need your full perfectly well because i as the
director of release and depositeoperations with the management are ready to
approve this consignment to any foreigner, who has correct information of
this consignment, which I will give to you later immediately, if you are
able and with capability to handle this amount in strict confidence
and trust according to my instruction and advise for our mutual benefits in
life.
I need trustworthy person like you in this business because I do not want to
make mistake,also I need your strong assurance and trust.With my position
now in my office I can transfer this provide with assurance that this money
will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I
will destroy all documents of transaction/deposite immediately we received
this money, leaving no trace to any where. You can also come to discuss with
me physically as i said earlier after which I will realse the vault to you
and two of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money
going into the offshore account.
I will apply for my annual leave to get visa immediately i hear from you
that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account with good
intentions. I will use my position and influence to effect
legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and foreign exchange
departments involved. At the conclusion of this business,
you will be given 20% of the total amount, 70% will be for me, while 10%
will be for expenses both parties might incure during the process of
transferring the money out from here.
I look forward to your maxiumum co-operation and favourable reply.
Yours faithfully,
MR.CHRIS MOYO.
NB:I have made every arrangenment and liaised with a top bank officer,who
works in the forex and international remmittance department of the
Amalgameted Banks of South Africa(ABSA),and he had
agreed and accepted to give us his full and maximum co-operation any time
his assistance is been needed,hence we will make the remmittance/transfer
via his bank.
