ATTN:
RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 15,000.000.00 USD} fifteen
million .I want to transfer to your country ($15,000.000.00
USD)FIFTEEN MILLION United States Dollars) which I moved
from a Prime Bank in South Africa to London, last month
Please,kindly look for 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 a/c immediately to receive
this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the
end for this important business trusting in you and
believing in God that you will never let me down either now
or in the future. . I am Mr.Peter Clark the Auditor General
of the prime bank, here in South Africa.I have worked in
this bank for many years and infact one of the oldest
Staffs.During the course of my auditing,I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1987 and
since 1993, nobody has operated on this account again, and
after going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the owner of the account died without a heir
He is a Deutch diamond dealer during the Apartheid regime,
his name was Mr.Wilhem Meyer. He was a foreigner, hence the
money is floating and if I do not transfer this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing, thats why I moved
it to an affiliate bank in London.I sent the money with the
name of my youngest daughter, and I would like if you accept
to assist me to invest it in your country,I will give you a
letter of Attorney, thereby making you the beneficiary of
this money.As a banker, I cannot have such an amount. I am
only a salary earner.All the documents and files pertaining
to this amount and all the datas about it in our bank, I
have destroyed them.There is no traces of it.It is as
genuine as any thing and risk free, it is a legitimate
business. The only thing I want it to be invested with a
different name.With this letter of Attorney which I will
send you a copy and the bank in England as to enable them
release the money to you immediately.
For your efforts to invest it on behalf of my family in your
country, I will give you 20% of the total money, 75% for me,
while 5%will be used to offset any unforseen expences that
might occur in the process of the transaction.Please, this
business is purely on trust and I hope you will not
dissappoint me once the money comes into your account, I
will then take my annual leave and come over there to meet
you in person.I got your adddress from the the research I
made from the South African Chambers of Commerce,
Johannesburg.
What I need from you is your bank account, Fax number and
telephone number, which I will forward to the bank, if you
agree on the terms I have numerated, then I will fax to you
the letter of Attorney as well as the bank, making you the
beneficiary of that money.
I am expecting your honest and sincere reply.
Best Regards
Peter Clark
