There was an account opened here in 1985 and since 1990,nobody has operated

owner of this account is MR KARL HEINZE WARAF, a foreigner and a miner at
Kruger gold company, a geologist by profession and he died since 1990. No
other person know of this account or anything concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and in my Investigation,proved to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved
is US$25.5 MILLION USD (TWENTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S
DOLLARS).

approved to a local Bank here but can only be approved to any foreign
account, because the Currency is American Dollars and the former owner of

message will come to you as a surprise as we do not know ourselves before.
We will sign an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business, Please reply urgently so that I will inform you of the next step
to take immediately, also I would like us to meet face to face in order to
sign a binding agreement to bind us together, so that you can receive this
money into your account or any account of your choice where the money will
be safe.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with a
foreign account and foreign beneficiary, I need your full co operation to
make this work fulfill, because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who provides correct information of this account
which I will give you letter, immediately you show your interest and your
capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according
to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefit because this kind of
opportunity never come twice in ones life.
I need truthful and honest person in this business,why because I do not want
to make any mistakes, I need your strong assurance and trust, at the
