RE: TRANSFER OF [$ 39,500.000.00 USD]
THIRTY NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS]
Attention.
We want to transfer to overseas ($$ 39,500.000.00 USD) Thirty nine million
Five hundred thousand United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in 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 Dr. J. Larry, 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.
Mr. Ravindra F. Shah, is an American, a physician and industrialist, he died
last year without having any beneficiary to his assets including his account
here in South Africa which he opened in a prime bank in the year 2000 as his
personal savings for the purpose of expansion and developement of his
companybefore his untimely death in 2003.
The amount involved is (USD 39,500,000.00)Thirty Nine Million Five Hundred
Thousand USD, no other person knows about this account, I am contacting you
for us to transfer this funds to your account as the beneficiary, I want to
first transfer $9,500.000.00 (nine million five hundred thousand USD) from
this money into a safe account abroad, after which we will transfer the
remaining (30M) 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 Mr.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 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 40% of the total
amount, 55% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email:
(dr_john_larry2005@myway.com) Ok.
Sincerely,
Dr. John. Larry.
