DEAR SIR/MADAM,
[RE: TRANSFER OF ($125,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS]
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 my private email address e_mesa@fastermail.com for
further
details.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Eric Mesa.
