Subject: URGENT RESPONSE
Dear Sir,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time goes on incase you
are willing to assist me in making this proposal a 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 four million [$4,000.000] 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 duke_amino@excite.com
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly
Mr. Duke Amino
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.
