Dear Sir,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time
goes on incase you are willing to assist me in making
this proposala reality,we will now probably meet in
person.
We want to transfer to overseas account ($7,000.000.00
USD) Seven million United States Dollars) from a Prime
Bank here in Scotland, I want to ask you, If you can
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 till the end for this important business
trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks
here in Scotland, during the course of our auditing,I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the
bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on
this account again,after going throughsome old files
in the records I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [Heir/WILL] 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 PEDRO F. HASLER a
foreigner, a great industrialist and he died since
1998.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 until his death he was the manager GOLD ARK
[pty].S.A.
We will start the first transfer with Twelve million
[$12,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining rest amount to your Account.
The total amount involve is Seven million United
States Dollars only [$7,000.000.00]. I want to first
transfer $4,000.000.00 [Four million United States
Dollar] from this money into a safe foreigners account
abroad before the rest. 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, without valid international foreign
passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license
and foreign A/C because the money is in US dollars and
the former owner of the a/c is a foreigner too, and
the money can only be approved into a foreign A/C.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together when we meet face to face after the first
transfer of $4 Million before transferring the second
part of $3 Million. I am revealing this to you with
believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business, you are the first and the only person that I
am contacting for this business, so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together
immediately after the first transfer before we fly to
your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business. I need your strong assurance that you will
never, never let me down.
With my influence and my position in the bank the bank
official can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account that you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
Will destroy all documents of transaction immediately
we receive this money leaving no trace to any place
and to build confidence you can call me for heart to
heart discussion through my private satellite phone
which I secured for the security and safety of this
business as you know that this business is
confidential.I will use my position and influence to
obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance from
the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transfer.
I look forward to your earliest reply through this
email address or my professional but confidential
email address allenbruce@3xl.net
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly
Mr. Allen Bruce
N.B
Definitely,a transaction of this magnititude needs
funds to execute and make it a reality and before,i
contacted you,i have already made a feasibility study
on how much we would need to carryout this project and
it is about $35,000.
Do not be alarmed,you are not going to spend any fund
of yours caused before i contacted you,i have already
made an arrangement with an investor in canada,who is
going to assist us with the funds needed for us to
complete the transaction.
If you are interested,immediately,give me your
telephone/fax number and contact address for me to
give to the investor to contact you and send the funds
needed for us to complete the transaction.
