HELLO DEAR
I am PRINCE CLIFFORD IBE, the Chief auditor of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
AFRICAN Plc. (ADB) I got your contact from a business directory.There is
an account opened in our bank in 1980, and since 1990, nobody 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 will forfeit
for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, an engineer,
and a miner at Kruge rGold Co. a geologist by profession and he diedsince
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 this

Company does not know anything about this account and the amount



Involved is (USD 75 m) seventy five million United States Dollars. I want
to first transfer Fifty Million United States Dollars from this money into
a safe foreigner account abroad before the rest, but I don't know any Foreigner.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner ause this money cannot be proved
to Local banks, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Smith B. Audreas
is a foreigner too. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise
as we don't know our selves before, never mind be sure that this it is a
real and genuine bsiness.You are the only person that have contacted in this
business believing God that you will not get over me, please reply urgently
so thatI will inform you the next step to take send also your private telephone
and fax number and the full detail of the account to be used for the deposit.
It is important to inform you also that my retirement from service will take
effect in september 2005 so I



need to pay in this money into a reliable foreign account before the end
of august 2005 I want us to meet face to face or sign a bindingagreementso
you can receive this money into a foreign accountor any accountor your choice
where the fund will be safe and I willfly to your county for withdrawal and
sharing. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with
a foreign account and a foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation
to make this work . The management is ready to approve this payment to any
foreigner who has correct information of this account which I will give to
you later immediately, if you are able and with capability to handle such
amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice
for our mutual benefit because I don't want to make



Mistakes. I need strong ranceandtrust.With my position now in the office;
I can transfer this money toany foreign account, reliable account which can
provide me with assurance that this money will be intact pending physical
arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of that

incur during the process of transfer.
