ATTN: THE PRESIDENT / CEO,
FUND TRANSFER.
I know this message will come to you as a surprise since we don't
know each other before, but for purpose of introduction I am
MR. NELSON ASLAM the Chief Auditor of the Leading Bank of South
Africa, There is an Account opened in this Bank in 1980 and
since 1990 nobody has operated on this Account again. After going
through some old files in the records I discovered that if I do
not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for
nothing.
The owner of this Account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner
and a miner at Kruger Gold Co,. a geologist by profession and he
died since 1990. 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 his Company does not
know anything about this Account and the amount involved is
US$20.5 MILLION (TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS).
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot
be approved to a local Bank here but can only be approved to any
foreign Account because the money is in US Dollars and the former
owner of the Account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do
not know ourselves before, we will Sign an Agreement but be sure
that it is real and a Genuine Business.
Please, reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take immediately send also your private telephone and fax numbers
including the full details of your Account to be use for the
deposit. I want us to meet face to face or Sign a binding
Agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money
into a foreign Account or any Account of your choice where the
fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal
and sharing and
other investments. I am contacting you because of the need to
involve a foreigner with foreign Account and foreign Beneficiary.
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
immediately, if you are capable and willing to handle such amount
in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and
advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never
come
again in my life. I need truthful person in this Business because
I don't want to make mistake, I need your strong assurance and
trust. With my position now in the Office I can transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable Account, which you can 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
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place.
You can also come discuss with me face to face after which I will
make this remittance in your presence and two of us will fly back
to your country at least two days ahead of the money going into
the Account. I will apply for annual leave to get Visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this fund
in your Account. I will use my position and influence to effect
legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your Account
with appropriate Clearance Forms of the Ministries and Foreign Exchange
Departments.
At the conclusion of this business you will be given 25% of the
total amount, 70% will be for me and while 5% will be for any
expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of
transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my telephone and fax
or e-mail.
Yours truly.

MR. NELSON ASLAM.
