Dear Partner,
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in
this letter. However, I came to know of you in my
private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a
confidential transaction of this nature in respect to our investment plans
in real estate. Though I know that a transaction
of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that all will be well at the end.
In order to transfer out (USD 121 M) One hundred and twenty one million
United States Dollars) from African Development Bank. I have the courage to
ask you to look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable for this important business believing that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr. Nick Donald. The Chief Auditor General of African Development Bank
(ADB). There is an account opened in his bank in 1990 and since 1993 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 1990. 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 (USD 121M)
One hundred and twenty one million United States Dollars million dollars.
I want to first transfer first (USD 21M) Twenty-one million United States
Dollars from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the
rest, but I don't know any foreigner, I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a
local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in US dollars and the former
owner of the account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner too. I know that
this message will come to you as a surprise as we don’t know our selves
before.
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 fine. Because the management is
ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct Information
of this account, which I will give to you later immediately, if you are able
and with capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because this
opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful person in this
business because I don't want to make mistake I need your strong assurance
and trust.
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 to get visa 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 of the ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total
amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring. Please indicate
willingness to enter into preliminary discussions on confidential basis.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address
yours truly
Mr. Nick Donald.
