FROM:Phil Robinson
AUDITOR GENERAL
First National Bank
6th floor, 1 First Place
Cnr Simmonds & Pritchard Street
Johannesburg, Gauteng
South Africa
This is from the office and desk of Operational manager of
First National Bank South Africa. I humbly wish to seek your
assistance in this matter that is very important, trust
needing and understanding.
Attn: Sir,
RE: TRANSFER OF US$168.559 MILLION TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important
business.At first I will like to assure you that this
transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both
parties.Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly
abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this
correspondence is private, and it should be treated as such.
My name is Phil Robinson I work as the operational manager
in account management section in charge of credit and
foreign bills of one of a prime banks here in South Africa.
On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary
account with a Balance of US$168,559,000. 00 [One hundred
and sixty eight million five hundred and fifty nine thousand
U.S dollars only]. The account holder, The deceased, was
believed to be incharge of former Iraqi President, Saddam
Hussein secret CRUDE OIL transactions in Africa before his
death. On further discreet investigation, I also discovered
that the account holder has died long ago with his family on
a fatal Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary to the account
and no other person knows about this account. I want to
transfer this money into your account as the foreign
beneficiary of the fund. I know that this letter will come
to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before, BUT
BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT
YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND
GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who
is my partner and he is willing to approve the transfer to
any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign bank
account because the former operator of the a/c is a
foreigner. I am certainly sure that he has no writen or oral
WILL attached to the account, no beneficiary and nobody will
come again for the claim of this money. It is only a
foreigner who can claim this money with legal claims to the
account holder which I will provide to you if you are
interested, therefore I need your cooperation in this
transaction. This money will remain useless in this dormant
account if I did not transfer the fund out to a foreigner's
account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents
needed in order to claim this money. I only need your
cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account
information for the transfer. All arrangement that will
ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the account which
you are to nominate is already in place.You should provide
me with your correct account information for the transfer
and your direct cell phone lines for easy communication. I
wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this
transaction.
At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be
25% of the total transfer sum, 70% for me and my partner
while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties
might incure during the process of the transfer. The fund
will be transfered to your account in two parts. I will
first transfer USD 38 Million to your account as a test
transfer. I will fly over to meet you after the successful
transfer for sharing according to the agreed percentages. I
will have the remaining balance of USD130,559 Million
transfered to your account only after thesuccessful sharing
of the first transfer without any disappointment from your
side.
Let me hear from you Ugently by sending me email.
Best Regards,
Phil Robinson
[South Africa]
