(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 52,000.000.00 USD)
FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Peter Gibson. The Auditor General bank of Africa,
during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993
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. Arthur Coleman , a
foreigner, and an Industrialist, who died since 1993 and no
other person knows about this account or anything concerning
it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that Arthur Coleman until
his death was the manager of Coleman Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with two six million
[$26,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining amount to your account.The amount
involved is (USD 52M) Fifty two million United States
Dollars only. I want to first transfer $26,000.000 [ two six
million United States Dollars 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 a 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.
Arthur Coleman 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 my Secretary 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
on the next step to take urgently. Send also your private
telephone and fax numbers 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 instructions 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 onfidence 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 35% of the total amount, 60%
will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the process of transfering. I
look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
MR. P. GIBSON.
