Subject: urgent reply from you
Dear,
I hereby contact you personally concerning the situation in my bank. In
order to transfer out {us$34,000,000} thirty four million us dollars, I
have the courage 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 Dr Lestron Maul, the Regional
computing auditor of (STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA) JOHANNESBURG
BRANCH(SBSA). There is an account opened in this bank in 1985 and since 1990
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 will be forfeited for nothing according to South Africa laws
and act of 1993,the money willbe revert this country government
treasury after 15 years if there is no valid claim.I need a foreign partner
that will present as a relative to this late man. I concluded to transfer
this money overseas for proper investment that will benefit me.The
owner of this account is Mr. Daniel B.Jones, 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 us$34,000,000 Thirty Four million dollars. 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.
Daniel B Jones,who is a foreigner too. I know that this message will
come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before,we will sign
agreement, but be sure that it is real and a fund. I only got your
contact address from my secretary during a normal routine search, i believe
in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the
only person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send
also your private telephone and fax number . 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 foreign account or any account of your choice
where the fund will be safe. 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 capable to handle such amount in strict confidence and
trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit. I
need a truthful person in this business because I don't want to make
mistake and 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. 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 3O%of the total amount, 70%will be for
me and my family, I look forward to your earliest reply throughmy email
address.
