AN AUDITOR IN
AMALGAMATED BANK OF
SOUTH AFRICA.
DEAR SIR /MADAM.
INVESTMENT PARTNER.
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 PAUL LATIMO , AN
AUDITOR IN AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1987 and since 2005 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 1999. 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 ($USD 25M)TWENTY FIVE MILLION
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 B.Andreas 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 usedfor 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
toinvolve 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 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'sreliable account, which you can provide with
assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your
country for sharing.
l 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 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 30% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, and
while 10% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the
process of transferring.
