we want to transfer to overseas some amount of money from South Africa to your account.
I want to ask you to kindly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new bank account immediately to receive this money, though an empty bank account could serve this purpose as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in time to come. I will not work with any evil & greedy person.
I am Dr MOSES ZUMA an auditor of a bank in South Africa. During the course of my auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1950 and since 1973 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 "next of kin to this money, and the owner died during the time of fighting for freedom in south Africa
The owner of this account is Mr. Allan p Seaman from south Africa an industrialist died, since 1976, until now no other person(s) knows about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account. Until his death was the CEO Golden safari Company in south Africa
While the total amount involved is ($4.8m United State Dollars) the fist transfer to your account will be $1.4m United States dollars in an offshore bank account outside South Africa.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid international foreign "Agreement", but could only be approved to any foreigner with valid international credentials: passport or drivers’ license and foreign account.
However, knowing all this, we will reach a binding agreement in this regards. As a matter of urgency, I will inform you the next step to take, while you send 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. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from that the fund is in your account .Before I will fly to your country for withdrawal, Sharing and investment.
Note: That the mode of sharing will not be a problem to us, only we finished successful transfer of this fund
I look forward to your earliest reply through email address or tel/fax
Yours truly
Dr MOSES ZUMA
