ATTN: C.E.O/MANAGING DIRECTOR,
RE:TRANSFER OF (US$10.5 MILLION) TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
We want to transfer to overseas (US$10.5 Million) from the Amalgamated Bank
of South Africa (ABSA). I want to 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 empty account can serve
to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for
this important transaction, trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am Dr. Mark Mundi, the Auditor General of ABSA, during the course of our auditing,
I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1995
nobody has operated on 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
is floating and if I do not transfer the money out of this account urgently it will be
remitted to the state. The owner of this account is Mr. Allan P. Seaman, a foreigner
and an industrialist, he died since 1995. And no other person knows about this account
or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved
to me as well that Allan P. Seaman until his death was the manager of Diamond Safari (Pty.)
South Africa.
We want to transfer this sum US$10.5 million (Ten Million five hundred thousand US Dollars)
into a safe foreigners account abroad, 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 person here, but can only
be approved to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers licence.The money is
in US Dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Allan P. Seaman is a foreigner too and
the money can only be approved into a foreign account. Considering the recommendation I received
in your favour by the South Africa Chamber of Commerce as regards your suitability and reliability
in carrying out this transaction, I hereby crave your indulgence to co-operate with me in this
mutually beneficiary transaction. I am revealing this to you, believing in God that you will
never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting
for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take.
Please while replying include your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit. Also note that upon your reply, we may opt for
telephone and fax communication, as this channel may not be safe for the transaction.
With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to any
foreigners reliable account that you can provide with assurance that this money will be
intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing.The bank official will
destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace
to any place.
As you receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and influence to obtain
legal approvals for I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately. At the conclusion
of this business, you will be given 30% of the total amount, 5% processing of the transfer,
while the remaining 65% will be mine. Please if you are interested in this transaction,
contact me with the telephone number above or by email and I will give you the procedure
of the business.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours sincerely,
DR.MARK MUNDI
