Re: Transfer of (US$25,500.000.00) Twenty Five Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.
Dear Sir/Madam
We want to transfer abroad the sum of
(US$25,500.000.00) Twenty Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars. From a security
company, Fortune Securities & Vault SA, Madrid, Spain.
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 account immediately to receive this money, even
an unfunded [empty] account can serve the purpose of
receiving 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 Mr. Victory Spence, consultant Auditor General,
FortuneSecurities & Vault Services, Madrid-Spain.
During the course of our auditing, I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the security
company in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
this account again. After going through some old files
in the records, I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [heir], hence the money has
been floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited to Fortune Securities &
Vault Services, for nothing.
The owner of this account was Mr. Thompson Watson a
foreigner, and an industrialist, he died since 1993
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 Mr.
Thompson Watson until his death was the chief
executive officer, Diamond Safari [Pty] SA.
I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money
can only be approved to a foreignerwith a valid
international passport, driver's license and foreign
account because the money is in US dollars and the
former owner of the account Mr. Thompson Watson was a
foreigner.
I will like us to meet to sign a binding agreement
that will bind us together in the business. I am
revealing all these to you with the belief that you
will never let me down in this business. You are the
first person I am contacting for the business so
please reply urgently for me to tell you the next step
to take.
I require you to please forward to me your telephone
and fax numbers; contact address and your bank account
details that will be used in transferring the money.
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 using the following sharing formula. 25%
of total sum will be for your assistance, 70% will be
forus while 5% will be set aside to refund or take
care of all the expenses that will be incurred by both
parties during the course of the transfer.
I look forward to your earliest response as soon as
possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Victory Spence.
