Dear sir,
In order to transfer out (USD 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million United States Dollars) from African Development Bank. I have the courage to ask you to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr.Tony Collins,the Chief auditor of African Development Bank (ADB). 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 this company does not know anything about this account and
the amount involved is (USD 126M) One hundred and twenty six million United States Dollars.
I want to first transfer USDM 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 am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to alocal 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 is Mr. Smith B.Andreas he is a foreigner too. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before.

I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will besafe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary.

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 this opportunity will never come again in my life.
