GREETINGS
IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT (USD 26 MILLION DOLLARS) FROM
OUR BANK. I
HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASK YOU TO LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND
HONEST PERSON WHO
WILL BE CAPABLE FOR THIS IMPORTANT BUSINESS BELIEVING
THAT YOU WILL
NEVER LET ME DOWN EITHER NOW OR IN FUTURE.
I AM MR ATU MBE THE EASTERN DISTRICT BANK MANAGER OF
UNITED BANK
FOR AFRICA PLC. (UBA). THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN
THIS BANK IN 1989
AND SINCE 2000 NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS
ACCOUNT AGAIN. AFTER GOING
THROUGH SOME OLD FILES IN THE RECORDS I DISCOVERED
THAT IF I DO NOT REMITT
THIS MONEY OUT URGENTLY IT WILL BE FORFEITED FOR
NOTHING.
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS MR. SMITH B. ANDREAS, A
FOREIGNER, AND
THE MANAGER OF PETRO - TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES, A
CHEMICAL ENGINEER BY
PROFESSION AND HE DIED SINCE 2000. 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 THIS
COMPANY DOES NOT
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT AND THE AMOUNT
INVOLVED IS (SD 26
MILLION DOLLARS).
I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE ACCOUNT
ABROAD 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 BANK HERE, BUT
CAN ONLY BE APPROVED TO ANY FOREIGN ACCOUNT BECAUSE

DOLLARS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT IS MR.
SMITH B. ANDREAS IS
A FOREIGNER TOO.

SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OUR SELVES BEFORE, BUT BE

ME DOWN IN THIS BUSINESS YOU
ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT I HAVE CONTACTED IN THIS
BUSINESS, SO PLEASE
REPLY URGENTLY SO THAT I WILL INFORM YOU THE NEXT STEP
TO TAKE URGENTLY.
I WANT US TO SEE FACE TO FACE OR SIGN A BINDING
AGREEMENT TO BIND US
TOGETHER SO THAT YOU CAN RECIEVE THIS MONEY INTO A
FORIEGN ACCOUNT OR
ANY ACCOUNT OF YOUR CHOICE WHERE THE FUND WILL BE
REMMITTED.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
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,THEN I WILL
TRANSACT THIS BUSSINESS WITH YOU, ACCORDING TO MY
INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE FOR
OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT BECAUSE THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL NEVER
COME AGAIN
IN MY LIFE. A NEED TRUTHFUL PERSON IN THIS BUSINESS
BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO MAKE MISTAKES. I NEED YOUR STRONG ASSURANCE
AND TRUST. WITH MY
POSITION NOW IN THE OFFICE I CAN TRANSFER
THIS MONEY TO ANY FOREIGNERS 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 RECIEVE THIS MONEY LEAVING

TO ANY PLACE. YOU CAN ALSO COME TO DISCUSS WITH ME
FACE TO FACE AFTER
WHICH I WILL MAKE THIS REMITTANCE IN YOUR PRESENCE AND

MONEY GOING INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT.

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 ONWARD
TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT WITH
APPROPRIATE CLEARANCE FORMS OF
THE MINISTRIES AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENTS.

20% OF THE TOTAL
AMOUNT, 75% WILL BE FOR ME, WHILE 5% WILL BE FOR
EXPENSES BOTH PARTIES
MIGHT HAVE INCURED DURING THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERING.
