TRANSFER OF ($21,500.000.00 USD)
TWENTY ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
Dear Friend,
In order to TRANSFER ($21,500.000.00 USD)
TWENTY ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
from FIRST OAK COMMERCIAL BANK. 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 also serve for
this purpose. I am DENNY JOE.the personal accountant General of FIRST OAK
COMMERCIAL BANK. during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in and since 2004 nobody has
operated on this account again, after going through some old files, from
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. CARL JOHN, a
foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since 28 DEC 2003 and 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 JOHN
CARL, until his death he was the manager
of Diamond Safari [pty]. SA. We will start the first transfer with sixteen
million dollars
[$16,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your
side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account, I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to
a local person here, but
can only be approved to any foreigner with valid information about Mr.CARL
JOHN who is a foreigner too. However, I am revealing this to you with
believe in God that you will never let me down when the money enters your
A/C. Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full
details of the account to be used for the deposit I need your full
understanding and co-operation to make this work fine because the
management of the Bank 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. Two of us will fly to your country at least two days
ahead of the money going into the 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
for easy and smooth transfer of the fund into your account without question.
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 both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring this money.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Yours truly
DENNY JOE
