Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day! My name is Mr. David Zuma, the Chief Auditorof Amalgamated Bank of
South Africa (ABSA) there is anaccount opened in this bank in 1980 and since
1990nobody has operated on this account again. After goingthrough some old
files in the records, I discovered
that if I do not remit this money out urgently itwould be forfeited.
The owner of this account is Mr. Andreas B. Smith, a foreigner and a Miner
at Kruger Gold Company. A Geologist by profession died in 1990. No one knows
about this account or anything concerning it the
account has no other beneficiary and the investigation proves to me as well
that his company does not know anything about this account and the amount in
the account at the moment is US$18. Million Dollars
(Eighteen Million United States Dollars).
As the money is in United States Dollars I need a foreign partner/account to
transfer the money overseas thus I am contacting you. Please kindly indicate
and if so contact me on the above phone numbers to enable me inform you on
next step to take.
I need your full co-operation to make this transaction work because the
management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information on this account, which I will give you if you indicate your
interest. I hope you can be able to handle such amount in strict confidence
because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful
person in this business relationship because I don’t want to make any
mistake. I need your strong assurance and confidentiality.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any reliable
foreign account, with assurance that this money will be intact pending my
physical arrival in your country for sharing. All documents regarding this
transaction will be destroyed once I
receive confirmation of the money in your account thus leaving no trace to
anything.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately on confirmation to
receive this fund into your designated account with appropriate clearance
forms from the Ministries and Foreign Exchange Departments.
At the conclusion of this business you will be given 25%(US$4,500,000.00) of
the total amount, 70%
(US$12,600,000.00) will be for me, while 5%
(US$900.000.00) will be for expenses that we might
incur during the course of this transaction.
Finally, please if you are interested in this transaction, all I want you to
do is to send me your Private Mobile Phone and Fax Numbers for Easy
Communication including your personal Bank Account
Details, where this money will be transfer (Your Bank Name, Bank Address,
Account Number, Account Holder’s Name, Bank Branch, Identity Number, and
Home Address).
Please kindly call me on the above private phone numbers before sending a
fax message for security reasons. While I’m looking forward to receive your
immediate reply by phone or fax as soon as you receive this letter.
Thanks and may the Almighty God bless you and your
family.
