I am MR.SOLOMON MOSES the OPERATIONAL MANAGER of BANK OF AFRICA, (BOA)
BENIN.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1989 and since 1996 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. The owner of this account is Mr.
PAULTON ALLEN, a foreigner, and a miner at D&D INVESMENT CO, a
geologist by profession and he died since 1996.
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 45M).
I want to transfer the [USD 45M] Forty Five million United States
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 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.PAULTON ALLEN a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we dont
know our selves before, but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business. I only got your contact address from my secretary who operates
computer with 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.
Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full
details of the account to be used for the deposit. 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 will fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and other
investments. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with
foreign account and to act as a 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 so 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 bear in mind that this fund is not
a looted or stolen money but rather a hard earned money generated.
