Subject: Kruger Gold Company..
Dear Sir,
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we do not know each other before,
but for purpose of introduction, I am MR. HARRISON KABBAH, the Chief auditor of AMALGAMATED BANK
OF SOUTH AFRICA (ABSA). 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
any thing 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
(USD$ 26M) twenty six million United States Dollars million 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 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 number including the full details of the account to be
used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face to sign a binding agreement to bind us
together as partners and then the money will be transferred into the account particulars you
provided which I presume is safe. Hence this money is transferred will fly to your country or
any other country which is the fund destination for withdrawal, 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 later. If you are able and willing to handle such amount in strict
confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit, then
contact me immediately because this opportunity will never come again in my life.
I need a truthful person in this business because I do not want to make mistakes. 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
related to this transaction, immediately we receive this money, thereby leaving no trace to any
place.
You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will take this remittance in
your presence and two 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 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 expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of
transferring this fund.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my private email harrisonkabbah22@yahoo.co.in
Yours truly,
MR HARRISON KABBAH
