CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT
ATTENTION:
I am Musa Ibrahim the chief auditor of NED BANK of South Africa.I got your
contact address from your country s Trade Journal.Your impressive and
managerial records made me to solicit for your partnership in these regards.
You are the only person that I have contacted for this bussiness as at
now, with the believe that you will not let me down.After going through some
old files in the records during the audict for the year in my own
department which I am supper heading now, I discovered that there was an
account opened in this our bank since 1982 and 1992, and since then
till now nobody has operated on this very account. The owner of this account
as I discovered from bank record secretly , is late Mr. Jerome N. Snaga,
a foreigner and a miner at the Anglo Gold Platinum Mining Company in
Mafikeng south africa, as a geologist by profession and he has died since
1992 and Up till now, no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning this money , no other persons name or group was puting as the
beneficiary of this money beacuse according to my investigation which I
made last few months ago proved to me that his family and his company
does not know anything about this account , beacuse they have fold up after
the death of late Mr. Jerome N. Snaga, a foreigner and a miner at the Anglo
Gold company in south africa here and the amount involved in this
discovered account is US$ 23.5Million . SO I want to transfer US$8
Million (eight Million UnitedStatesDollars) out from this very money to a
safe foreign account in abroad first ,before the rest,but I ve not gotten a
trusted foreigner who will claim this money in his name as the beneficiary
which I will secretly put your name in this very file hence this money is
own by a foriengner not a citizen.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be
approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to any foreign account
because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the account
Mr.Snaga was a foreigner and this money , needs to involve a foreign
account according to bank proccedures.
So I only need your full co peration inoder for both of us to make this
bussiness smoothly because the management is ready to approve this payment
to whoever that has correct information to this very account of which I
will give to you later, if you are able to handle such amount in strict
confidence and trust according to my instruction and advice for our mutual
benefits because this opportunity will never come again in my life.I need
your strong assurance, honesty trust and reliability beacuse With my
position now in this office there is nothing to be afriad of atull.
With my full position now at my department I can even transfer this money
to any reliable account,which you can provide to me with assurance that
this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing of this money. I will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money, leaving no trace of any and also resigned
from my post in the office.You can also come here for us to discuss with me
face-to-face then the remittance will be made in the presence of both of us.
Then we will fly to your country at least two days ahead before money gets
into your private account.I have the tendency to invest my own share of the
money in your country in expectation on sound management and good capital
returns according to your advice. Be assured that you stand no risk of any
kind as the fund belongs to us now. Therefore,after the eventual stage of
the transfer of this fund,I am offering you 25% of the total fund, 50% will
be for me while 5% will be set aside for expenses that we might incured
during the course of transfering or you mail me to discuss on the
percentage if this, did not go well with you. I strongly believe that
associating with you to embark on this fund will yeild a good fruit of
geting this money out for our own benefit, other business ventures will
derive a huge success there after. I will use my position to influence to
effect approvals for onward transfer of this money to your personal account
with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and foreign exchange
department. I am counting on your sense of confidentiality, as it is my
desire now, keep this to yourself.Unless otherwise indicated or obvious
