BUSSINESS ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER FUND.
Dear sir/madam,
I know you will be surprised to receive this my request to help me
transferring some fund into your overseas account.The details of the
transaction is as follow.
In order to transfer out the sum of twenty six million united state
Dollars (US$26 MILLION) from FIRST NATIONAL BANK,I have the courage to ask
you to look for reliable and honest person who will be capable for this
important business and that you will never let me down either now or in
future.I am MR.KENNETH SIBANDA,the Chief Auditor of FNB,BANK SOUTH AFRICA
There is an account opened in this bank in 1997 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.PAUL.J.WILLIAMS,a foreigner and
miner at KRUGER GOLD COMPANY,geologist by profession,and he died since
1998.No other person knows about anything concerning it.The account has no
other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this
company does not know any thing about this account and the amount involved
is TWENTY SIX MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$26 MILLION).
I want firstly to transfer the sum of FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLAR
(US$15M) from this bank into a safe foreigner's account abroad before the
rest of the sum,but I don't know any foreigner ,I am contacting you as
foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here,but can
only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in dollars and
the former owner of the account is Mr.PAUL.J.WILLIAMS,and he is a foreigner
too.I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know
ourselves before.Actually,we will sign agreement,but be sure that it is real
and a genuine business with 100% risk free.
I got your contact address from the South Africa chambers of commerce
believing you as a God fearing individual,you will not let me down in this
transaction.
Therefore, I am appealing if you are interested please contact me
immediately so that I can inform the steps to take on.Your private phone
number and fax numbers including the full details of the account to be used
for the deposit.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 be safe.And I will
fly to your country for withdrawal,sharing and investment.
Again,I contacted you because there is a strong need of foreigner with
overseas account and a foreign beneficiary.I need your full cooperation to
make this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment
to any foreigner who has correct information of this acount,which I will
give to you later,on conditions that you are able to handle such amount in
strict confidence and trust.Also you will follow my instructions and advice
for mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again in my
life.
I am still saying I need a powerful and trustworthy person to avoid any
mistake.Furthermore,with my present position in my office I can transfer
this money to any reliable overseas account with proof that the money will
be intact till my physical arrival to your country for sharing and
investment.I will destroy all the documents of this transaction immediately
we receive this money leaving no trace to any place.You can come here
physically at least for you to witness the remittance of the fund and we can
travel together to your country at least two days ahead of the money going
to the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately,if I see you are
serious to act and receive this fund in your account.I will use my position
and influence to effects the approvals and onward transfer of this sum into
your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign
exchange departments.
At the end of the transaction,you will be given 35% of the total amount,60%
will be assigned to me while 5% will be set aside for expenses incured
during the transaction.
Therefore,if you are interested contact me with the above phone number , fax
number and email address for more information.
I am looking forward for your earliest reply and compliments to your family.
Best regards,
MR.KENNETH SIBANDA.
