FUND TRANSFER FROM [MR. B. PHILIMON]
ATTN: SIR,
My name is MR.BARRY PHILIMON, the Chief Auditor of First National Bank of
South Africa (F.N.B) 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.
The owner of this account is Mr. B. Andreas Smith, a foreigner and a Miner
at Kruger Gold Company. A Geologist by profession died in 1990. No one knows
about this account or anything concerning it the account has no other
beneficiary and the investigation proves to me as well that his company does
not know anything about this account and the amount in the account at the
moment is US$10 Million Dollars (Ten Million United States Dollars).
As the money is in United States Dollars I need a foreign partner/account to
transfer the money overseas thus I am contacting you. Please kindly indicate
and if so contact me on the above phone numbers to enable me inform you on
next step to take.
I need your full co-operation to make this transaction work because the
management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information on this account, which I will give you if you indicate your
interest.
I hope you can be able to handle such amount in strict confidence because
this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful person in
this business relationship because I don’t want to make any mistake. I need
your strong assurance and confidentiality. With my position now in the
office I can transfer this money to any reliable foreign account, with
assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your
country for sharing.
All documents regarding this transaction will be destroyed once I receive
confirmation of the money in your account thus leaving no trace to anything.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately on confirmation to
receive this fund into your designated bank account with appropriate
clearance forms from 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, while 5% will be for any expenses that we might
incurs during the course of this transaction.
Kindly call me on my phone number OR you send mail immediately you receive
this message for more details.
Best Regards,
