(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 26,000.000.00 USD}
{ TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)
..........................................................
Hello,
Warmest greetings to you.I want to solicit your attention to
transfer to overseas (26,000,000.00 USD) twenty six million
United States Dollars from a Bank in Africa. I also 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 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 Dr.Frank Duke, During the course of our
auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1990 and sice 1993 till now
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. Howard Sweeney, a
foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1993. and
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 Howard
Sweeney until his death was the manager Sweeney
Coy.(pty). SA.
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 (USD 26M) Twenty Six million
United States Dollars,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. Howard Sweeney 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,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
before transferring the money to any account of your
choice where the fund will be safe. 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 ever,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 you can
come immediately to discuss with me face to face after
which I will make this remittance in your presence and
three of us will fly 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 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
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties migduring the
process of transferring. I look forward to your
earliest reply.
