Dear Friend,
In order to transfer out (USD 12.6 M) Twelve million Six Hundred United
States Dollars) from National Westminster Bank UK. I have the courage to
ask you if you are capable, reliable and honest to assist us with this
important business believing that you will never let me down either now or
in future.
I am Mrs. Nancy Brooks, the Chief Auditor of National Westminster Bank
UK(NATWEST BANK). There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 and since
then 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 1998.He
opened a non-residential U.S dollar bank account. Since then 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
(USD12.6M) Twelve Million, six Hundred United States Dollars million
dollars. I want to first transfer US$6,000,000:00 Six million United States
Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the
rest is transfered,but I don't have any foreign partner.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to any other person other than the next of kin to Mr Smith
B.Andreas.I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we do
not know ourselves before now,We will then sign an agreement,but be sure
that it is real and a genuine business transaction.
I only got your contact address from International Business Directory,with
believe in God that you will never let me down in this proposed business.You
are the only person that I have contacted in this regard, so please reply
urgently so that I wil inform you of the next step to take
immediately.
Send also your private telephone and fax number 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 any reliable account of
your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for
withdrawal,sharing and other investments
oppourtunities as well. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary.I need your full
co-operation to make this work,because the management is ready to approve
this payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account which I will provide to you later.
Furthermore,with my position now in the office I can transfer this money to
any foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that
this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this money leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with
me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and
two of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave immediately I hear from you that you are ready
to act and receive this fund in your account.I will use my position and
,influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to
your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30% of the total
amount,65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the course of this transaction.
