Dear Sir/Madam,
VERY CONFIDENTIAL.
------------------
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 MR VUYO DABULA, the
Auditor of ALMAGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA (ABSA).
There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and
since 1998 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 a foreigner, and a miner
at Kruger gold co., a geologist by profession and he
died since 1998. 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 (US$D8.5M)
Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand 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 the
account 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,If you
deem necessary 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 later immediately,
if you are able and with capability 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 discuss with me face to face,If
pssible so you can handle proceedings on your own with
my guardians after which I will make arrangement to
travel your country 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 onwar 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. I look
forward to your earliest reply through my email or by
my Tel: 27-76 231 5129.
Yours truly,
MR. VUYO DABULA.
