(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION
DOLLARS .
ATTENTION PRESIDENT/CEO,
We want to transfer to overseas account ($126,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and
twenty six million United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa,I want to
ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and
fit to provide either anexisting bank account or to set up a new bank a/c
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 in God that you will never let me down
either now or in future.
I am Mr Lakonty Gabriel, the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in
South Africa, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in
an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this
account again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered
that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr.Laurie.T Pierre, a foreigner, and an
industrialist, and he died, since 1999. and 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 Mr.Laurie.T Pierre until his death was
the manager Diamond Safari [pty].South Africa.
We will start the first transfer with twenty six million [$26,000.000] upon
successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account. The amount
involved
is (USD 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million United States Dollars only.I
want to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty six million United States Dollar]
from
this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't
know any foreigner,I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
can
not be approved to a local person here, without valid international foreign
passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers license and foreign a/c because the money is in US dollars
and the former owner of the a/c Mr.Laurie.T Pierre is a foreigner too,and the
money can only be approved into a foreign a/c. How ever, we will sign a binding
agreement, to bind us together.
I got your contact through the research i made in the South Africa chambers of
commerce internet bureau {N.C.C.I.B}. I am revealing this to you with believe in
God that you will never let me down in this business,you are the first and the
only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so
that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. 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 to build confidence and to sign a
binding agreement that will bind us together before transferring the money to
any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe.Before we fly to your country
for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
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,upon your positive response and once I am
convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank
official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down.With my
influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to
any
foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this
money
will be intact pending for our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The
bank official will destroy all documents of this transaction immediately we
receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you can
come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this
remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country atleast 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 obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to
your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign
exchange departments. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30%
of the total amount,65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both
parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to hear from you soonest
Yours truly
Mr Lakonty Gabriel.
