Dakar,Senegal.ATTN:
Dear Sir,
TRANSFER OF ($15,300.000.00 USD} FIFTEEN MILLION THREE HUNRED
THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
I want to transfer ($15,300.000.00 USD)Fifteen Million Three Hundred
United States Dollars from a Bank here in Dakar Senegal to oversea account.
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.This is
by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and
have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction
of this great magnitude.I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer
the said amount into your safe account for unward investment.You can either
provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank account
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve 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 that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
I am the personal account officer to a great late INDUSTRIALIST who has
an account in one of the top banks here in Senegal. The account was opened
in 1996 and he died in the year 2000 without a written or oral WILL and
since then nobody has operated on this account again hence the money is
floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for
nothing since the bank has been sold on Wed, 19 Mar 2003 to another
bank and the management of the bank is now ready to release the fund to any
foreigner who has the correct information of the account before fully
handing over the management to the new bank.The owner of this account
is a foreigner and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary . My investigation
through the National immigration department proved to me as well that
he was single as at the point of his entry into the Republic of senegal.
The amount in this account is USD$15.3 Million ( Fiteen Million Three
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars )only.As a matter of fact, I
have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your assistance as
a foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank will welcome
any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give
you immediately, if you are interested to do this business with me.
There is no risk to this business. With my position and my personal
contact with the manager of the bank,the money can be transferred to any
account you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our
physical arrival in your country for sharing.We will start the first
transfer with Six million [$6,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the
remaining balance of $9.3 million to your account. I am only contacting
you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person
here, but can only be approved to any foreigner who has the correct
information of the account which I will provide to you.So you should
provide me with your correct account detail where you will like the fund to be
transferred or you can set up a new account for the transfer even an
empty account is ok.
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 25% for your honest
committment and positive contributions to enhance that the transaction
succeeds, 5% for any expenses incurred in this business and the
remaining 70% for me. As soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance
that you will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will
then start to process the transfer of the fund to your account without
further delay.
Contact me urgently for further detail.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr Ahmed Oscar.
