Subject: URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL:
RE: TRANSFER OF [$13,500.000.00 USD. THIRTEEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
WE WANT TO TRANSFER TO OVERSEAS THE SUM OF THIRTEEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
[$13,500.000.00] FROM FIRST BANK IN SOUTH AFRICA. I WOULD
LIKE IT, IF YOU WILL BE CAPABLE AND FIT TO PROVIDE EITHER AN
EXISTING BANK ACCOUNT OR TO SET UP A NEW BANK ACCOUNT
IMMEDIATELY, TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY. EVEN AN EMPTY ACCOUNT
CAN SERVE TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY, AS LONG AS YOU WILL
REMAIN HONEST TO ME TILL THE END OF THIS IMPORTANT
BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN EITHER
NOW OR IN FUTURE. I AM DANIEL LAMPRETCH, DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS
DEPARTMENT OF FIRST BANK SA. DURING THE COURSE OF OUR
AUDITING I DISCOVERED A FLOATING FUND IN AN ACCOUNT OPENED
WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN 1993 AND SINCE 2002 NOBODY HAS
OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN, AND AFTER GOING THROUGH
SOME OLD FILES IN THE RECORDS, I DISCOVERED THAT THE OWNER
OF THE ACCOUNT DIED WITHOUT AN 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 WAS A FOREIGNER WHO SHARES
THE SAME INITIALS AS YOURS, AND AN INDUSTRIALIST, HE DIED
SINCE 1997 AND NO OTHER PERSON KNOWS ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT
OR ANYTHING CONCERNING IT, THE ACCOUNT HAS NO BENEFICIARY
AND MY INVESTIGATION PROVED TO ME AS WELL THAT THE ACCOUNT
OWNER UNTIL HIS DEATH WAS AN EXPERTRIATE/CONTRACTOR
WITH ESKOM IN SOUTH AFRICA [PTY] SA.
I AM CONTACTING YOU AS A FOREIGNER BECAUSE THIS MONEY CAN
ONLY BE APPROVED TO A FOREIGNER WITH A VALID INTERNATIONAL
PASSPORT, DRIVERS LICENCE AND FOREIGN ACCOUNT, BECAUSE THE
MONEY IS IN US DOLLARS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT
IS A FOREIGNER. I WILL LIKE US TO SIGN A BINDING AGREEMENT THAT
WILL BIND US TOGETHER IN THE BUSINESS, I AM REVEALING ALL THIS
TO YOU WITH THE BELIEF THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN
IN THIS BUSINESS, YOU ARE THE FIRST AND THE ONLY PERSON I AM
CONTACTING FOR THE BUSINESS, SO PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY IN
ORDER TO TELL YOU THE NEXT STEP TO TAKE.
YOU SHOULD FORWARD YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, WHICH
IS ALSO NEEDED. YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE ME THE ASSURANCE WHEN
WE MEET THAT THIS MONEY WILL BE INTACT PENDING OUR PHYSICAL
ARRIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR SHARING AND DISBURSEMENT OF THE
FUND WHICH WILL BE 35% FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, 60% WILL BE FOR US
WHILE 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE EXPENSES THAT
WILL BE INCURED BY BOTH PARTIES DURING THE COURSE OF THE TRANSFER.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR EARLIEST RESPONSE, NOTE YOU CAN
ALSO CALL ME ON MY PRIVATE NUMBER BELOW, FOR SECURITY
REASONS PLEASE REPLY ONLY TO: dlampretch@montell.org.
BEST REGARDS,
DANIEL LAMPRETCH
dlampretch@montell.org
