from a First National Bank in South Africa, 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
funds quitely.
I am Mr.Umu Udo. the accountant personal confidant to Dr.
Ravindra F. Shah who died together with his wife Dr.Mrs.
Manjula Parikh-Shah in a plane crash on the 1st Oct. 2003 on
their way to attend wedding in Boston.
Dr. Ravindra F. Shah, is an American, a physician and
industrialist with the South Africa National Petroleum
Corporation for years, he died last year without having any
beneficiary to his assets including his account here in
South Africa which he opened in a First National bank in the
year 2000 as his personal savings for the purpose of
expansion and developement of his company before his
untimely death in 2003.
The amount involved is (USD.$126,000,000.00) One Hundred And

$26,000.000.00 (Twenty Six Million USD) from this money into
a safe account abroad, after which we will transfer the
remaining (100M) 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 Dr.Ravindra F. Shah is a foreigner
too, and as such the money can only be approved into a
foreign a/c.
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 my
questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. can you keep this business as very confidential? 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. At the conclusion of this
business, you will be given 30% of the total amount, 60%
will be for me, while 10% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the process of transferring.
