Dear Partner,
My name is Mr. Donald Kume, the Auditor General of a bank in Africa,I am
contacting you of a business transfer,of a huge sum of money from a deceased
account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any
one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been
well taken care off, I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction.To ease your apprehension. The amount involved is (USD $126M)
One hundred and Twenty Six million United States Dollars,
I want to first transfer$26,000,000.00 [Twenty Six million United States
Dollars] from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the
rest, but I don't know any foreigner.
I 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 in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am the Auditor General of a bank in Africa,during the course of our
auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in
1990 and since 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. he died since 1993 till now 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 Twenty Six million[26,000,000.00]
after and upon the successful transaction without any disappoint from your
side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your
account, The amount involved is (USD $126M) One hundred and Twenty Six
million United States Dollars.
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 never,never let me down.
With my influence and the position of the bank official, we can transfer
this money to any foreigner's with reliable account which you can provide
with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival
in your country for sharing.I will apply for annualleave 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.Personally, I
kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and
idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. Due to my
position in this country as a Govt servant,
i am not allowed to operate a foreign account.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.
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 of both parties
might have incurred during the proces of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my emaile.:
Sincerely,
Mr. Donald Kume
