{KEEP THIS BUSINESS WITHIN YOURSELF FOR SECURITY
AND SAFE REASONS}
Dear Sir/Madam,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 36,000.000.00 USD) THIRTY SIX million
United States Dollars) FROM SOUTH AFRICA, I want to ask you 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, 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 From Auditor.Derrick Hurlin,the Auditor General of the Bank of South
Africa, during the course of our Auditing I discovered a floating fund in
an Account opened in the Bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
on this Account again, after going through some old files in the records
I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] 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 Mr.Eshed.B.Willey, a foreigner,
and a sailor, and he died, since 1993. and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the Account has no other Beneficiary and
my investigation proved to me as well that Mr.Robinson.A Patman until his
death was the Manager of Oriental Diamond Company,in South Africa.
We will start the first transfer with SIX Million [$6,000.000] 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 Amount involved
is (USD36M)THIRTY SIX million United States Dollars, only I want to first
transfer $6,000.000 [SIX 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 Mr.Eshed.B.Willey is a foreigner too, and the money
can only be Approved into a foreign A/C.
I got your email through my Personal Secretary through the internet,She did
not know you before neither do I know you she only got it when I told her
that I needed an email Address where I can send a Confidential Proposal to,though
I did not tell her what the content of my mail was,It only God that brought
us together to do this business and 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.
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 the position of the Bank official we can Transfer this Money
to any foreigner's reliable Account which 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.I
will use my position and influence to obtain all legal Approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with apropriate clearance from the
relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.The onlything I needs
from you now is to keep this business within yourself untill I instruct you
to spread the Good news to anyone OK.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total Amount,
60% will be for me while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during this process.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address
Yours,
From Auditor.Derrick Hurlin
