Attn:Director/Ceo,
TRANSFER OF TWELVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS.(US$12.5M)
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we don't
know each other before, but for purpose of introduction,
I am lucas tejane, the Chief auditor of africa bank,(pty) south africa,There
is an account opened in this bank in 1980 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 would be
forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. smith Roland, 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 his company does not know anything
about this
account and the amount involved is (USD12.5m) twelve million five hundred
United States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot 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
theaccount is Mr. Smith Roland 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 an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business.Please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately.
Send also your private telephone and fax number 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. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing
and other investments. 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 immediately, if you
are capable and willing 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 discusswith me face to face after which I will

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
onwardtransfer 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 25% of the total amount, 70% will
be for me,and while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transfering. I look forward to your earliest reply
