ATTN: Dear Confidant ,
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 5000.000.00 USD} FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
I am Mr. Daniel Chike the Auditor General of one of the mega banks
here in Nigeria, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1995 and since2000
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 Engr. butch R. Miguel a foreigner, and an
Oil contractor, and he died, since 2000. 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 Engr. butch
R. Miguel until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. S.A.
The amount involved is (USD5 M) five million United States
Dollars only. I want to transfer 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 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 am
revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me
down in this business. 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 our physical
arrival in your country for sharing.
The bank official will destroy all documents of 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 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 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, 60% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the process of transferring, while 2% for
charity, as a mark of God's gratitude for the blessing.
I await your immediate response,
Regards,
Mr. Daniel Chike
