But for purposes of introduction, I am Dr. Eluelu M. Akagiaku, the Bank Manager of STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA. There is an account opened in this bank in 1979 and since September 1998 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records concerning this account, I discovered that if I don’t transfer this money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing.

I am contacting you, as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to any local bank here in South Africa, but can only be approved to any foreign bank account because the money is in US Dollars and the late Mr. BELL PATRICK, is also a foreigner. I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don’t know ourselves before. We will sign a bind agreement but I believe in Trust, Kind, Humble and Honesty.
Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately, fax to me your private telephone and fax numbers including the details of the bank account to be used for this transfer. I will appreciate if we can meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money into a foreign bank account of your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing including other investments I need your full co-operation to execute this transaction because the Managing Director is ready to approve this transfer to any foreigner who has the correct information of this account, which I will furnish you later immediately if you are capable and willing to handle such amount in a strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefit, because this opportunity may not come again in my life. I need a truthful person in this business because I don’t want to make mistake, so I need your strong assurance and truth.
You can also come to discuses with me face to face after which I will make this transfer in your presence and two of us will fly to your country at least two day ahead of the money going into your bank account. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this money in your bank account. I will also use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your foreign bank account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange department.
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 any expenditure for both parties that might incur during the process of this transfer.
I look forward to hear from you as soon as you receive this letter.
