Dear
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 15,000.000
USD)Fifteen million United States Dollars) from a Bank
in Africa, I want to ask you to quietly look for a
reliable and honest person who will becapable and fit
to provide either an existing 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 Dr,abduaziz gambothe Auditor General of banks in
Africa, during the course of our auditing I discovered
a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in
1993 and since 1996 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.Allan P.Seaman, a foreigner, and an
industrialist, and he died, since 1993. 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 Allan
P. Seaman until his death was the manager Diamond
Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with TEN million
[$10,000.000] 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 15M) Ten
million United States Dollars, only I want
to first transfer $10,000.000 [Ten 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. Allan
P.Seaman is a foreigner too, [and the money can only
be approved into a foreign a/c
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from the Girl who
operates computer, 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

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 in 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 our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
will destroy all documents of transaction immediately

which I will make this remittance in

during the process of transferring.
